I need career guidance, I am a recent graduate of my law degree but I was too immature to take that seriously at that time I kept thinking I will change my career from this and I kind of wasted my whole 5 years now i want to persue my career in corporate law only, but I am not able to find any internship of law firm. Can you guide me what should I do? Should I take any short course or what?

Ans: Transitioning into corporate law requires a focused strategy. Start by assessing your background and setting clear goals. Enhance your knowledge with targeted short courses, certifications, and industry seminars. Gain practical experience through internships, volunteer work, or freelance projects in legal departments—even if traditional law firm internships are scarce. Expand your network by engaging with professional organizations, alumni, and online platforms. Finally, tailor your resume and cover letter to highlight relevant coursework and experiences while addressing any gaps. Staying informed about industry trends and remaining persistent will help you break into corporate law. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.
