Become a Brand Ambassador at City for 2017-18 (Legal Cheek, Blake Morgan & DWF)
Three further Brand Ambassador positions are available (see the earlier post for the role for Ernst & Young), here is the roundup:
DWF
Dwf is a business law firm with a distinctive approach and they are looking for enthusiastic and proactive students to act as ‘Brand Ambassadors’ to build the DWF brand on City University campus.
What will you gain?
Becoming a Brand/Campus Ambassador is a fantastic way to learn how a law firm works, whether you’re a good fit for them. You can build a network of contacts across DWF, get some experience and earn some cash, all whilst you’re at University!
Case study:
Ayesha Sayeed has been a Brand Ambassador for DWF at City, University of London, City Law School for the last academic year. Here is what she said about her experience with the firm:
“Being a brand ambassador has meant that I’ve learnt first-hand about the workings and structure of law firms, which has been great for my commercial awareness. It has also helped me to enhance vital skills any future trainee (and any graduate!) requires: organisation, presentation and communication skills, amongst much more. But I have also been able to network a lot more with City Law Students and within DWF and has helped me to build connections which I can now maintain through LinkedIn.”
You can read the full interview with Ayesha over on the City Law Society blog.

- Edin Imsirovic has been a Brand Ambassador for Legal Cheek at City, University of London, City Law School for this academic year. He has offered some tips for students considering applying for the role:
“My first tip would be make sure your CV is the best it can be when you apply. I’d also say ensure you have good interpersonal and communication skills because at Legal Cheek events you really need to come off as professional and personable, irrespective if you’re talking to the Legal Cheek Staff, trainees or students on campus. You will be representing and be the face of City Law School and obviously, you want to come off as well as you can. But just be confident and apply, and enjoy it!”
