"I will never be accepted for a promotion!" That's exactly what I kept thinking during my career and what kept me stuck in a junior role for 10+ years. What helped me overcome feeling stuck in my career was: ➡ changing my mindset from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset ➡ acknowledging that it's normal to feel afraid of change but the only way to move forward was through taking action ➡ challenging myself regularly to work on my own professional and personal development ➡being kind to myself and telling myself why I had every right to go after my career goals. I understand how scary it can be stepping out of your comfort zone at work to seek a promotion. But I also know how much you really want to take that next step in your legal career. DM me for a chat to see how I can help you take the next steps in your legal career.

If you’re not pursuing a career related to your study field, what other career option? Isn’t that the question most #freshgraduate will ponder for? I studied law, if I don’t practice law and no plan to do any legal related matters, what can I do as my #career option? The question should be, what do you want to achieve with a career? If you don’t know, it doesn’t matter what you choose to do. It’s a Friday, it’s ok to dream a little. Dream of what an ideal career means to you When you’re successful in your career, how does it look like? How do you know you have the ideal career? ♥️

"The job hunt is a journey, not a sprint." As a law graduate actively seeking opportunities, the process can be overwhelming at times, but I’ve come to realize how important it is to stay resilient. Over the past few weeks, I’ve focused on fine-tuning my CV, expanding my network, and exploring different areas within the legal profession. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned? Persistence. Every rejection is a chance to reassess, improve, and keep moving forward. I’ve recently connected with some amazing professionals in the field who have shared insights that have been invaluable during this time. To those of you in the same boat—keep going. Stay adaptable, keep learning, and remember that every "no" is just one step closer to that "yes." If anyone has advice on navigating the legal job market or would like to connect, I’d love to chat! #CareerJourney #JobHunt #Resilience #Networking #LawGraduate
