Activity: Assessing your Employability

The following are some of the skills most often asked for by legal recruiters, including some of the additional skills that trainees of the 2020s will
need. On a score of 0-5 (where 0 is poor and 5 is high), see if you can ‘score’ yourself out of 5 for each skill. Think about your education, activities
and interests and work experience, and write down specific examples of the evidence you have for each. Identify whether you need to ‘boost’ a
particular area and, if possible, come up with some ideas for specific actions you could take. For ideas on the kinds of actions you can take, visit:
