What was the recruitment process?

I applied directly to the firm for a Traineeship in 2009. I undertook a number of interviews and was selected for the position. Upon completion of my Traineeship and Admission to the Supreme Court in 2011, I was offered a full-time position as a first year lawyer.

I think having studied and lived in Geelong during my course gave my firm the confidence that I knew the region and would be keen to stay here and work post my Admission.
