BATB Personal Career Coaching

In our 60-minute Application Session 1 - Identifying and Applying Skillsets, we will guide you through the process of identifying your key skills and how to effectively communicate them in your pupillage application. We will help you to understand how your work experience, educational background and other activities align with the specific areas of practice you are applying for.

In our 60-minute Application Session 2 - Effective Written Expression and Clarity, we will provide you with feedback on your draft pupillage application, including advice on how to effectively communicate your qualifications, skills and experiences. We will help you understand how your written responses will be perceived by barristers on the pupillage committee and provide you with guidance on how to make sure your application is clear, concise, and persuasive.

In our Interview Session 1 - Advocacy and Reasoning, we will help you prepare for the pupillage interview by providing you with the opportunity to practice your advocacy skills in a simulated interview setting. During the session, you will be given a choice controversial topics to argue for and against, and you will not find out until the session begins which side you are arguing for. This session is designed to help you learn how to remain calm under pressure and think on your feet when challenged.

In our Interview Session 2 - CV and Application Interview, we will simulate an actual pupillage interview to help you prepare for the real thing. You will be given a general pupillage application form to fill out and will be interviewed based on the information provided on your CV and application form. The interview will be recorded for feedback and review. This session will give you a realistic experience of the questions and scenarios you might encounter during a pupillage interview.
