Work Experience:
I currently have a Bachelor of Law Degree which took 4 years to complete, however due to circumstances regarding experience, I have been unable to use it to its maximum potential.
I already have an avid interest in law and I am very excited to be given this opportunity to apply for a position where I have the possibility to learn different aspects of law in further detail. I believe this position is the first step to me fulfilling my potential within a law career.
Ability to draft legal documents:
I have had previous experience of drafting documents whilst in my position as a personal secretary to to the Undersecretary of Education. However my experience with drafting legal documents is limited, as it was mainly letters and other documents I dealt with.
I am however, a very quick and willing learner and hope my lack of experience in this department will not hinder my application.
Ability to communicate effectively:
My previous positions as a translation consultant for Fairtrade and in both my positions as a cabin crew member and personal secretary, I feel has given me asdequete preparationforn this position of litigation assistant.
The experiences of translating Arabic into English to large halls of people, to mayors and people from the press has improved my communication skills greatly.
My written skills have mainly been in Arabic, whilst in the position of personal secretary, translating into English were on rare occassions to other government departments and organisations outside the U.A.E.
While living in the UK and attending English courses over the past couple of years my written skills have improved dramatically, which will be an asset for this position.
