There is more to Life than Love and Law with Emma Shakeshaft

Summary
I always felt that having spent copious amounts of time and money on my legal studies that I needed to use it to get into the legal profession. What I and many graduates forget is that a law degree or qualification opens the door to many more exciting industries. You've Been Served may be a law podcast, but it is more interested in its listeners making the right career choices for them be that in the legal industry or elsewhere. There is no harm seeing what is out there; you will always have the opportunity to come back to the legal sector at a later date. 

Today's Co-Host
To provide her insight, we are again joined by Emma Shakeshaft making a hattrick of appearances. Emma is a highly successful in house paralegal who has recently obtained a training contract at a London based firm starting in September 2021. See Emma's bio below:

As my wife always tells me "it is what you do right now which makes the difference," so what are you waiting for? Widen those parameters on your job searches or set up notifications for roles in other industries which may interest you. Maybe you fancy yourself as a marine biologist or a TV presenter. Go for it! You will be surprised how far your law qualifications will take you.
