legal trainee

Stephanie Ng, Trainee Solicitor at Ashurst speaks about her background, her journey to becoming a trainee with Ashurst and shares advice for someone applying to join a trainee programme.  

"You can kind of tell when someone hasn't really done their research and isn't sure what they are talking about. It is not that there is an issue with not being sure what you're talking about, it is more like if you're not sure just say it and being genuine, when you're emailing someone, speaking to someone, when you're in the interviews or writing down your application don't Google something and copy and paste it because it's pretty obvious. When it comes to write stuff down and speak to people then just be genuine about why you want to apply." says Stephanie.

Robert Booth, Trainee Solicitor at Ashurst speaks about why he wanted to pursue a career in law, his hopes and dreams for the future, the impact of Covid on his working experience and shares advice for someone applying to join a trainee programme.  

"If you can understand the firm's policies, their particular business interests, their focuses; I think that can really help, so you can really show in your application that you, one, are specific about the firm that you want to apply to, and two, can then translate that into why you want to work for them." says Robert.
