Hello,
This is the 50th issue of Douglas Scott's newsletter, so we thought why not go for a new look? After all, 50 is the new 30 right? We hope you enjoy it!
It's been a busy month here in Tower 12 at Douglas Scott HQ, with many new faces joining us and plenty to keep us busy! We've still had time to see what's been going on in the legal market though, and we've had some exciting events, so grab a cuppa and check out this month in legal.
We value your opinion too, so feel free to join the conversation on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.

Did you know that hirers spend on average 6 seconds before they make an initial 'fit' or 'no fit' decision...better make that time count then.

It will provide you with all the pointers you will need and help you avoid the pitfalls that may - despite all your experience - stop you getting past that initial sift.
First impressions are important and with competition for the best roles at its highest you want to be standing out from the crowd.
