“It’s really another networking event isn’t it? Need to make the most of the law school opportunities!”
Heads have turned as an ambitious second-year-student has braved the 35 degree heat and worn his Sunday best to the annual professionals v students cricket match.
Despite knowing absolutely nothing about the sport and showing no interest in learning, this LinkedIn warrior has confirmed he is instead interested in landing a new law job.
“Got to seize every opportunity to stand out in the competitive job market bro,” said the law student who currently works for himself tutoring two students a week.
The optimistic second year was seen lingering around the professional’s bench, handing out his CV and cover letter to the barristers.
“I thought he was giving out score cards or some shit, and then he asked who my favourite High Court judge was” said one KC.
“I’m more impressed by that Angus White guy, the bloke is batting like Matty Hayden,” said another barrister when asked about whether he’d hire the tuxedoed networking beast.
At the end of the match, the law student was seen running on the pitch to shake the hands of every barrister
“I’m just trying to keep it professional”
Although the student hasn’t received a job offer yet, he has told the Obiter the professionals did show signs of interest, as they kept asking ‘how’s that’ when he spoke to them.
There is currently no developments on his chambers job.
