One of the best ways to launch your legal career is to speak to law firms’ representatives at your campus law fair – that’s what graduate recruiters consistently tell TARGETjobs Law when we interview them. During the autumn term, law fairs give you the chance to meet recruiters and trainees, and start your relationship with law firms. Let us share with you our six ways to impress those firms at your law fair.

That's all from me this week!

Good luck with your applications
