Bcom law internships 2022
What is an internship?
An internship is a short-term job placement, usually between 1 to 12 months long, that allows you to gain experience in a specific field of work. Internships are typically unpaid or low paid.
Internships allow you to:
- Gain practical experience relevant to your career path
- Change career paths through trying something new
- Learn new skills and knowledge for your industry
- Build networks and connections within your industry
When are bcom law internships offered?
The BCom Law Internships take place during the summer months (September to December), between semesters, and during semester breaks.
What are the benefits of doing an internship as a bcom law student?
Bcom law students can gain many benefits from doing an internship while they study, such as:
- Boosting their CV. Employers are often looking for experienced candidates who have knowledge of the field they’re applying to and have already worked in that industry. Internships are a good way to get some experience before you graduate.
- Networking with professionals. Doing an internship gives you the opportunity to meet professionals in your field and build your network of contacts to help you when you look for work after graduation. If there are particular people or companies you want to work for, doing an internship gives you a way of meeting them in person and letting them know that you’re interested in working for them after graduation.
- Gaining experience. Getting some practical experience is very different from studying a topic at university, so it’s important to try out the skills and techniques you learn about in your degree by putting them into practice through internships or other opportunities such as volunteering or part-time jobs. You’ll be able to talk about what kinds of tasks and projects you’ve worked on during your internship when job hunting after graduation because employers will be impressed that they’re hiring someone with lots of understanding of what it’s like working in their industry
How do I find a bcom law internship?
You might be wondering how to get a bcom law internship. When it comes to finding internships, there are many different routes you can take, but we would recommend that you start your search by looking at job boards. These will have current openings and will allow you to filter your results by location or other criteria.
Once you’ve found the right opportunity, don’t reach out and apply just yet! Instead, do some research on the company itself to see if it’s something you want to work for. If so, that’s when it’s time to reach out and apply! If not, keep looking until you find an internship with an organization that fits your values.
Another way to find an internship is through networking: reach out to people in your personal network (friends and family) or professional network (former colleagues). They may be able to put in a good word for you with their employer if they know of any open positions at their company!
Finally, another great way of finding internships is by asking around at school; talk with your university career center about any opportunities they may know about or ask one of your professors if they hear anything through their own networks (they often talk amongst themselves between classes).
What kind of work is involved in bcom law internships?
As a bcom law intern, your tasks will vary based on the specific field of law in which you are interning. For example, an internship at a non-profit firm might focus on helping individuals who have had their immigration status revoked. In this case, an intern’s tasks would be to:
- Proofread and make edits to legal documents such as petitions, declarations and other paperwork related to immigration cases.
- Organize documents into files that are easy to search through.
- Help with any administrative or office tasks that need attention.
Although it is important for interns to perform these tasks quickly and efficiently in order to help the organization run smoothly, it is even more important for them demonstrate initiative within their positions by asking questions about the work they are doing and taking time to learn from those around them. By being a self-starter and working well with others, an intern can genuinely contribute value to their team and become someone who is trusted by the lawyers around them.
Should I do more than one bcom law internship?
Once you’ve found your feet and developed some confidence, it’s possible to do more than one internship at a time. This can be helpful if you’d like to gain experience in different areas of law, from litigation to transactional work. It can also help you build your network quickly.
However, if you find yourself bogged down by the work of multiple internships, just keep in mind that there’s no need to do more than one at a timeāand with enough planning, it’s possible to take an overlap into consideration when applying for subsequent internships.
