    As a Unisa 3rd year LLB student, I say there's nothing bad about studying long distance but also put yourself out there, find work, volunteer just do something law related just to get that feel and also be exposed in certain areas of law. This will help you when you start attending interviews. I secured my 3rd job in a legal department because of experience and a few law modules.

    Wow! What a trailblazing genius you have hey😃😃, this gentleman is so ambitious and it's so infectious 😍 I'm really, really impressed with him. He spoke so articulately and eloquently, I learnt so much from him, from all the tips and experiences he had.
    Linda is such an amazing person, doing the utmost unimaginable things - Talking about working a full 8 hour job and still studying full-time, doing more modules on a 3 year stream! Wow, hai no he's a legend🙌. I respect him🙌🙌
    I loved how he spoke about surrendering one's will to God, oh my gosh this is spirituality on another level🙌 God really speaks into our lives indeed.
    And hey, look at that! 😃😃 He said he's an advocate for social justice and... Wait for it... His second name is Justice! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ahh this gent is a real G man. Salute to uNdabezitha, uMageba.
    Then he spoke about a passion in IP - Intellectual Property. The 3rd guest in your videos who's an advocate for this field...Hmmm it sounds like this field is really something that is something of great importance hey🤔🤔 wow
    Shoo girl he's really multi-talented and multi-gifted, with all his degrees that he has completed his world is truly an oyster. Truly one of a kind. It was an absolute pleasure of a masterclass to listen to him and it was fantastic to now know him.
    Thank you Atli and all your questions were spot-on and covered everything I wanted to know and would have asked too.
    You're phenomenal❤

      @atleganggovuza6733  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hello. Yes the legal market is a bit saturated, that is why we encourage those pursuing an LLB to either do Bcom law or BA law first, and then LLB or any other degree before LLB. Recruiters like graduates with more experience nowadays. But also, just hard and get good grades and do extra curriculum activities. It helps in being a more attractive candidate ✨

    • @lindajustice15
      @lindajustice15 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I’d say first start by working on believing in yourself and abilities more, you are not less and you are not incapacitated in anyway. You were not admitted to the institution by accident (I’m not negating the evident high employment rates in SA). Secondly, work hard, it is competitive out there so upping your sleeve is a nonnegotiable. Put differently, get good grades, acquire additional skills that will set you apart as a candidate. Thirdly self-introspect, identify what you want to do in the field (e.g. articles, pupillage, in-house roles etcetera) and do things that put you in a better position to be there. For instance if you wanna shoot straight to the bar then you need to have engaged in a lot lf community service. If u wanna be an attorney you do vac work and start networking with practicing attorneys to seek further advice. *hope this helps*
