The Digital Employability Hub

The Digital Employability Hub has been created around the core idea of a 4-stage process designed to guide students on their personal journey towards a successful legal career.

Evaluate

In the Evaluate Stage, students self-assess their strengths and weaknesses and critically evaluate their skills and attributes enabling them to create clearly defined employability objectives and a comprehensive plan of action. This stage contains resources and tools that will enable students to self-assess their career goals and preferences, set career objectives and monitor their progress, prioritise and plan their actions and record their achievements which will be useful to refer to when making job applications.

Explore

The Explore Stage provides students with an opportunity to learn more about different career paths and the experiences of different lawyers allowing them to focus in on career options that will be perfectly suited them as individuals. This stage provides students with advice on how to research Law Firms and Barristers Chambers.

Legal Directions, the Liverpool Law School podcast series, will be your ultimate resource for insights, advice, and inspiration, to assist you in preparing for your future career. Subscribe to Legal Directions on Spotify to be notified when we release new episodes.

Connect

In the Connect Stage students are provided with information on how to create connections within the legal profession. This includes advice on how to make the most of various opportunities such as law fairs and work experience. In addition to critical advice on how to make the most of any legal work experience and how to make a good first impression, this stage contains a series of student videos. In these student videos our current students provide advice on how to get the most out of University, tips on how to create a Linked in account and they discuss opportunities available to students through the university and law department that can help students to improve their employability.

Execute

The final Execute Stage is where students put everything they have learned in the previous stages into practice and start to really put their employability objectives and plans into action. This stage provides template cover letters and advice, top tips on completing legal applications, information and guidance on the different kind of activities included in assessment days, answers frequently asked questions on how to succeed at interview and provides guidance on the modern phenomenon of the video interview.
