Not sure what activities to pursue? Well, this is going to sound cheesy, but the answer has to come from within – it's important that you pursue activities and experiences which you are genuinely interested in and passionate about and which reflect your ambitions and personality. Don't just volunteer or join a society because you think you should. A human rights lawyer once put this to us rather bluntly: “People always ask me, ‘how do I show an interest in human rights law?’ but that’s the wrong way round. People who are genuinely interested will already be involved.” Later, when you're applying for training contracts and vacation schemes, you can't just list your qualities on your application form – you have to demonstrate them through past experience.
