The session, hosted at Microsoft Gulf Offices in Internet City, started with a tour of Microsoft Offices and was followed by a panel discussion focusing on preparing law students for the job market.

Our guests shared their own professional journeys with our students and provided an array of helpful do’s and dont’s on how to build a profile attractive to employers, especially using social media to improve visibility, networking coverage and increased chances of getting an interview. They stressed the need for students to utilise every possible opportunity to network and meet key industry people to build relationships that are instrumental in improving employability prospects.
