May the job hunting begin
Friday, October 23, 2015Hello guys. Sorry for the lack of updates. I know I initially intended for this blog to be a "fashion an lifestyle" blog but I haven't been doing anything much lately. Ever since I got my results, my mum has been asking me about what my career/life plan is.
The thing is, I know I want to be a lawyer. But here's the thing. I'm an overseas graduate. I graduated from Cardiff Uni a year ago and I hold a law degree. In order to be a practicing lawyer in Malaysia IF you graduate from overseas or if you attend an unrecognised (by the legal professional qualifying board) local university, you'll have to sit for your CLP to be able to practice here.
As can be seen in my last post, it's really hard to pass and the passing rate is really low. But I already got through that. So now, I just have to apply to any law firm for me to be a chamber student for 9 months. Lets think of it as some sort of practical. Only then I'd be called to the bar.
So for the past couple of days, I have been doing research on where I want to work. I think I am going to try to apply to a few big firms and see how my luck goes. So that's basically what I've been doing.
But yesterday, I went out with my mum to watch The Walk at One City Mall. It was my first time there and the cinema was literally empty. It was just me and my mum and a random dude. The seats were comfy too! The movie was alright. I'd give it a 3.8/5. My mum is afraid of heights so she was practically squeamish half the time! I honestly can't believe that it's based on a true story! To think that someone actually walked across the Word Trade Centre on just a wire is beyond me.
I guess that's it for today. I'll try to post something more interesting soon!
