The July edition of DEDICATED - The Legal Secretary Journal is now available to read online. 

For those of you who are looking for new roles and career advice, we have some great articles in this month's edition of our journal. Our Legal Secretary Jobs Board is very active at the moment and we can see some exciting opportunities for our Graduates, as well as a wealth of vacancies for more experienced Legal Secretaries.

Our lead article outlines five steps to the perfect covering letter. When viewing candidate applications through our jobs board, we notice common errors which could be avoided with the right guidance. Please take a look at what you need to do to make the right impression and secure an interview.

Simply Law has provided some advice on how to craft a candidate profile through their new website, and TotallyLegal has just published its annual Audience Insight Report. Our partnerships with these recruitment companies mean that our Students and Members have access to the best resources when job hunting. Also, if you are looking for a flexible working arrangement within your current role, Sellick Partnership has given some expert guidance on how to negotiate this.

Finally, wellness coach Natasja King has written an insightful article about overcoming Imposter Syndrome. Natasja is one of our Fellowship Members and regularly contributes to our journal. We very much welcome contributions from Members who have a particular area of expertise or would simply like to share their experiences.
