My role as an auditor was a fantastic experience. I went to University in Edinburgh and without Serve Legal I would not have seen anywhere near as much of that beautiful city as I did. I now know the centre of Edinburgh like the back of my hand (and have an extensive knowledge of where to find the cheapest pints). I enjoyed this role so much that I wanted to get more closely involved with the company, and so when the opportunity arose to join the Operations team as a Media Compliance Assistant Co-ordinator (MCAC), I jumped at it.
I was just beginning my 3rd year of University when I started as an MCAC. This is of course crunch time for students, and meant that my availability for work was sporadic at times and dependent on my coursework deadlines & exams schedule. Serve Legal were not only understanding of this, they actively ensured that I wasn’t taking on too much or putting my degree in jeopardy. Going into my 4th year of University, I had experience in managing people, meeting corporate deadlines and working in a professional environment from my role as an MCAC. With this behind me, I was able to secure a graduate job at a major company in central London.
Nine months into my graduate scheme, I knew that the job wasn’t for me. After a lot of reflection, I decided that I wanted a more client facing role - and as it so happened, Serve Legal were recruiting for a Client and Sales Executive. Having already gained a good insight about the company, their values and their culture, I had absolutely no hesitation in applying. The colleagues I had worked with at each step in my Serve Legal journey had made me feel included within the team, so I felt confident that I was joining a company that would support my development.
Just a few weeks into my 3rd role within the Serve Legal, I am happy in my job, I’m managing a number of clients and I aim to generate growth for the company in the coming years; and it all came from a friend of a friend telling me about an amazing student job that I thought was too good to be true.
