Spreading Awareness of Commercial Awareness - with Jones Day. The importance of commercial awareness is a familiar refrain for anyone applying for graduate jobs. University careers services, grad recruitment teams and interviewers love to bring it up – but what does it really mean and why is it necessary? Join associates Sherif Saad and Lizzy Geraghty as they unpick the term by considering commercial awareness as a skill and explaining how and why it should be developed by lawyers of all levels.
This event will be particularly useful if you:

• are considering any career in which commercial awareness is important. This can be a legal career but strong commercial awareness can be applied to almost any career path.

• are looking for clarification and advice on what the term commercial awareness really is and how to not only build it, but demonstrate it in any recruitment process.

• are currently in any year of study and degree discipline. It is never too early to start thinking about commercial awareness!

Attending this event will enable you to:

• take away practical tools and resources to continue your commercial awareness journey.

• gain insight from those who studied at your university and have successfully made it through a competitive recruitment process – one in which commercial awareness is vital.

• build blocks to start to develop your commercial awareness. Sometimes knowing where to start is the most difficult part.
