Hi guys, I’m a Law (Hons) and Health Sciences (anatomy & physiology) grad, and am finishing off my practical legal training (PLT) to be admitted soon(ish). I have a little under a year of experience in legal secretary/assistance, and around 6 years experience in building and construction admin, I also do heaps of volunteering weekly on the side. I was just wondering what kind of jobs are available for someone with my experience and degrees?

Thank you in advance!

Within consulting, there is R&D tax /Government incentives Advisory that can be an option to start out in. We deal with research incentive and grant applications and it involves understanding and applying r&d legislation. Happy to explain further

If you want to practise as a lawyer and is interested in construction, you could always try for a grad role at a law firm and ask for one of your rotations to be in the Projects & Constructions team to try it out. Do you have any clerkship experience?

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door. I’ve asked mentors from ADPlist to review my LinkedIn and resume as well as my portfolio and I haven’t had any luck. I graduated from uni in 2020, was bedridden for a whole year which led me to fall behind and I’m embarrassed that I can’t seem to get a job after months of actively trying - I desperately need help as I’m on a Visa that requires me to be employed.
Any advice?
