Legal open day / Work experience Review

Sitting within the legal department. I was introduced to those who worked in various seats and was told what they encountered on a typical day.

Skills necessary for this role are similar to those needed for a career in law: specifically attention to detail and commercial awareness, amongst many others.

Everyone was very happy and willing to help. It was interesting to understand what avenues people came about working in house.

It seems you are certainly relied upon and seen as a real team member, as even those who have newly joined the team are trusted with work.

Followed a tight schedule that was adhered to, overall it was well organised.

I was checked up on regularly by various individuals, those who made their faces known to myself and others, if we had any problems.

Salary paid just covers costs of travel and accommodation in London.

I wasn't there for long enough to give a fair evaluation. But I expect there would be an effort made to socially integrate you if so.

Yes

A trusted British brand where you are able to play a direct part in the shaping of its future.

Research well, including the news and to know the main aims of M and S's future.
