73860
How do you make yourself stand out from the crowd when you’re starting your law career, along with all the other talented professionals? Writing in this week’s NLJ, Tom Moyes, training partner, Blacks Solicitors, shares some tips and advice

Moyes looks at what ‘standing out from the crowd’ really means, and why practice makes perfect when it comes to improving your communication skills. Do not let setbacks or knockbacks put you off―Moyes writes: ‘Even the most competitive candidates can expect to receive some rejections and failures… everyone makes mistakes and it’s not always possible to succeed on the first try’. Resilience and perseverance go a long way in law.
