What attracted me to Sort Your Future was that it was virtual and it provided an opportunity to complete tasks that a lawyer would actually do at work. This meant that it was really accessible at a time when in-person work experience was hard to find due to the pandemic but also very insightful into what the job of a lawyer is actually like.
It helped me solidify my choice of wanting to become a solicitor because I had experience of doing solicitor-like tasks and I enjoyed them. This gave me confidence that should I enter the profession, I would enjoy my job
It was an experience that I included in all my applications and helped me to show employers that I had gained skills such as communication and research through this work experience.
