I have been doing a lot of unbillable work which has been great for my development in other key areas; i.e,, drafting articles for the MK website, cold call emails to prospective clients but I wish I had the opportunity to have more billable work. Perhaps this is because the team doesn't have enough at the moment.

There are periods when I am not very busy which makes me feel futile and bored. As a graduate lawyer I want to be constantly learning and growing and when there is not a great deal of work or the work is administrative in nature then I do not feel as though I am being challenged or learning.

My day to day is always very different. I can be brought in and assist in a variety of tasks which is something I really enjoy.
