Foreword The traditional career progression channels are changing for the current secondary school, sixth-form and college students. There has been a significant rise in prominence of school-leaver programmes, standard and degree apprenticeships, even amongst the FTSE 100 employers and prestigious accounting, law and investment banking firms. On another positive note, universities are increasingly valuing International Baccalaureate (IBs), BTECs, HNCs and other vocational qualifications as viable A Level/Advanced Higher equivalents. Such significant positive shifts are, however, coming at a very challenging time; when funding and resources for career advisory services in schools and colleges are reducing, a radical overhaul of GCSEs/N5s having just taken place, new T Levels being rolled out, and a new Careers Strategy being introduced by the government. That is a lot of change for school leavers looking to pursue further/higher education or directly enter the world of work. More choice for school leavers is a huge positive development. However, with so many opportunities, that probably exceed their expectations, comes a huge responsibility for them to fully understand the choices available and to make well informed career decisions. It is equally perplexing for parents and carers, who are also overwhelmed by the unprecedented changes, but are still being expected to effectively play their supporting and advisory role. Schools and colleges are having to rely on their very stretched Careers Departments and teachers to adequately educate and support every learner as they encounter crucial career decision-making junctions. This book is aimed at helping pupils/students, careers advisers & leaders, teachers and parents/carers in having a more holistic understanding of the UK’s Careers landscape. The book follows and/or supports the guidelines of organisations such as the Gatsby Foundation, CDI (Career Development Institute) and AGCAS (Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services) to support schools and colleges in developing effective Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) and to improve careers provision in line with the government’s 2018 Careers Strategy and the Gatsby Good Career Guidance benchmarks. The book covers the entire careers journey, from making education and career choices, to preparing candidates for going through the entire recruitment process and ultimately helping them settle in the workplace. Whilst acknowledging that there is plenty of careers and recruitment information all over the internet, we believe that the information has not be synthesised, consolidated and packaged in a way that makes it easier for pupils/students and school-leavers to understand and use. By putting together all the relevant information that an aspiring professional needs, including outlining various industries’ key employers, we believe this book will be a useful reference for young learners, careers advisors, and parents/carers when supporting in PreferPrefer ateachers hard a hard copy? copy?

To tailor the advice and support each learner needs in line with their respective career guidance requirements and relevant to their specific career cycle stage. To fully incorporate and embed equality and diversity in the institution’s careers programme. Educators to extensively incorporate careers education into core curriculum and learning outcomes. Educators should aim to highlight the relevance of their subject area and the range of possible future career paths. The institution should create multiple employer opportunities for learners to get work-related and employment exposure from employers. The range of possible enrichment opportunities include employer visits, buddy and mentoring schemes, presentations, YouTube videos as well as entrepreneurship programmes. The institution must make effort for every learner to have first-hand workplace experiences through work experience sessions, site visits, work shadowing and work placements. Teachers/ Lecturers/ Careers Advisors must enable learners to understand the range of potential further/ higher educational and career progression opportunities; be it academic (undergraduate /postgraduate) or vocational (college/apprenticeship), or even professional qualifications & higher apprenticeships. The institution should provide opportunities for learners’ personal guidance (interviews/workshops/drop-in sessions) with a trained and suitably qualified/experienced careers adviser or equivalent member of staff.


Careers Guidance’ Benchmarks Role of Parents / Carers To develop an understanding of how to advice and support the learner in line with the institution’s career education and guidance framework Parents/Carers are encouraged to take active interest in supporting learners in exploring good-quality career options and labour market information and opportunities.

Role of Learners (Students/ Pupils) The learner must make a commitment to actively use the resources provided to build a better understanding of the world of careers and options available. Every learner should constantly read good-quality information about future study/career options and labour market information as much as possible. They should regularly seek the advice and support of informed advisers and parents/guardians to maximise the benefits of the resources provided. Every learner should be aware and seek to know their career guidance needs at their current stage in the career cycle. All learners are strongly advised to seek expert guidance before making crucial career decisions. Students should identify their subjects of interests and strengths and should use the expertise and resources available to explore how their career aspirations can be achieved.

Every learner must actively participate in any form of activity that has been provided to gain as much exposure as possible of different work environments and scenarios. They should be asking questions in the activities and must show interest in learning about careers. The higher the interest the higher the chances of successful career outcomes.

LAW

Throughout history, societies have established systems of law to govern people. The Law industry influences what we can and cannot do. Laws play a central role in social, political and economic life and provides inspiring, intellectual challenges. Law firms have many employees besides solicitors. They employ legal secretaries, paralegals, interns, junior associates and partners, as well as employees responsible for putting together legal documents and transferring files to courthouses and clients. However, some basic qualifications are necessary to work in a law firm, regardless of the firm’s size.

QUALIFICATIONS

Level 3-4: A-Level, BTEC, Diploma Level 5-6: University Degree (LLB/BA Law), Degree Apprenticeship, HND Level 7: Post Graduate Diploma/Masters Degree, Institute Membership: LLM (Master of Law), LPC (Legal Practice Course).

SALARY Salaries for legal professionals start from between £20,000-£50,000. Qualified barristers with five years’ experience can earn anything from around £60,000 to £200,000. For those with over ten years’ experience, earnings can range from £75,000 to £300,000.

CAREER PROSPECTS Solicitors can progress to senior solicitor, then salaried partner and ultimately equity partner. Challenges to career development for selfemployed barristers may include long hours required to cover cases and hefty workloads. Because of this, career development is very much dependent on your cases, your approach to work and your ability to successfully build a reputation. Getting involved with professional bodies such as the Young Barristers’ Committee (YBC), from an early stage can help to raise your profile and develop your professional skills.

BECOME A SOLICITOR/BARRISTER

This demanding, highly rewarding field requires an analytic mind, a logical approach and excellent attention to detail to succeed. Barristers are specialists in advocacy and representing individuals or organisations in court. They are generally hired by solicitors to represent a case in court and only become involved once advocacy before a court is needed. Solicitors/Barristers specialise in different areas of the law, such as: Environmental Law Banking and Finance Law Commercial Law Corporate Law Criminal Law Family Law Media Law Public /Human Rights Law

TYPICAL WORKING DAY Many barristers work on a self-employed basis, while solicitors work in prractising firms, government departments or agencies such as the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Government Legal Profession. • • • • • • • • • • • •

Following instructions from clients and dealing with their solicitors Understanding and interpreting the law Managing legal briefs (cases) Undertaking legal research into relevant points of law Writing opinions and advising solicitors and other professionals Preparing cases for court, including holding client conferences and preparing legal arguments Representing clients in court Presenting arguments in court Examining and cross-examining witnesses Drafting legal documents Negotiating settlements Carrying out auditing and research.

ASSESSMENT CENTRE TIPS

So, you have passed the initial application and/or first interview and have now been invited to an assessment day so your prospective employer can get an in-depth understanding of your skills. Assessment days often consist of multiple activities that are designed to put your knowledge, aptitude and personality to the test. It can be tricky to know what to expect, so we have listed a number of activities you could expect on the assessment day.

Key tips • Prior to the assessment, notify the employer of any special needs if you have any • Do some prior research on what type of exercises the employers usually test on its assessment days • Familiarise with the best approaches to impress in the various tests that are likely to be used • Have a good night sleep. Arrive on time, fresh and well prepared for an eventful day • Stay positive – the fact that they have picked you from thousands of applicants means you are pretty good! • During the exercises the employers will be assessing how you perform and conduct yourself so be assertive and a confident team player and showcase your interpersonal and teamworking skills • Be passionate and show that you want to work for them and have a lot to offer. • Contribute to group activities. Avoid being too passive or being too dominant • Articulate your thoughts – unfortunately most assessors are not mind readers • Try to build rapport with other candidates (and assessors). Network, chat and be-friend other


candidates during breaks and in-between activities to help you relax and boost your confidence, which might come in handy when interacting and working with them later in the day • Pay particular attention to little things like gestures, facial expressions and maintaining as eye contact • Don’t dwell too much on your mistakes - If you feel your performance in one of the exercises was not as good as you would want, try not getting too discouraged – it is your overall performance in all the exercises that counts • Enjoy yourself and have fun making new friends • Whatever outcome of the interview process; ask for some feedback to aid your continuous professional development. This will make you a better candidate for the next Assessment Day, that’s if you need one

Reflection Finally, you may be required to do an Assessment Centre reflection. Whether it’s a form, presentation or write-up, you need to look back on your experience and assess how you’ve done and what your experience has been like. You’ll have to analyse what went well and what parts could have gone better and how well you think you’d performed. It’s difficult to prepare for this segment of the day so just remember to keep notes to assist you. Some people have written about what their day at an assessment centre devised as blog posts for others to see, so it may not be a bad idea to have a browse in preparation!

SETTING UP A NEW BUSINESS PART 2

Assess your finances and identify sources of funds You’ll need to make a decision on how you are going to fund your business. It’s always smart to research your options before settling on something as there’s a number of ways this can be done. Here are three common methods for funding your small business: 1. Self-Funding: self-funding is something that takes a little bit of time but allows you to be more in control of your finances. 2. Requesting a loan or grant: asking for a loan or grant is a common way of funding your business. Much like self-funding, it can

take a little longer, but it does save your equity, ownership and control. Take a look on www. grants.gov for any loans that take your fancy. Crowdfunding: with a good campaign and a strong online presence, there is nothing to stop you from sourcing your finances with crowdfunding. It can take a lot less time than self-funding or waiting for a loan and is a great way of establishing a small community for your business! For more information about funding, check out our pages on Sources of Finance.

Find your resources

team,

premises

and

If there is a way starting small, it’s a good ideal to start it as a solo project and maybe working from home or using cafes and hotels as your meeting rooms. However, if you feel the venture needs more people, consider hiring premises. Cheap options include: • Shared serviced offices • Business lounges • Out of town offices


You can’t have a solid business without a solid team. Follow hiring protocols to ensure you employees meet the standards and morals of your company and build a reliable team. You may want to conduct some research on how to interview candidates. Recruiting for your team is going to be an ongoing process and having a large workforce won’t happen overnight. You may want to work with people you are already familiar with you to begin with and then grow your team as your business develops. Consider using LinkedIn Recruiter Lite, Job Boards (like Indeed, CV Library, Universal Match and Totaljobs) as well as putting social media posts. After that find some office equipment and facilities. In these days of Google, eBay, Amazon, Facebook and Gumtree it’s a lot easier to find cheap equipment locally. Because you are employing people, make sure you compliant with regards to: • HR Regulations • Health and Safety Legislation • GDPR Regulations • Pension auto enrolment • Company House Regulations & Director Responsibilities (if it’s a Limited Company)

Promote your business There are plenty of sites and programs to help you build a website. If you don’t want to find a designer, you can now easily build decent websites on platforms like Wix and Squarespace even without strong IT skills. Social media is pretty much essential for any business these days and it’s a great way of getting your company’s name out there in the early days. Get your family and friends to like and share your posts to spread the word and make sure that your customer service is top notch! It’s also useful to have a look at modern marketing trends and adapt them into ways to promote your business, including the likes of google pay-per-click, SEO, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn marketing. Depending on your business, have a look at attending local trading fairs or networking with other small businesses and larger businesses. The more contacts you have, the better!
