Dream Jobs
I graduate this March, and will get my practising licence in October, if everything works out for me. Where to go and what to do next? I have some plans in mind. But in this post, I will fantasize about my dream jobs and what I would like to do. I list them in order of preference, according to industry.
Technology
- Google
- I think there is no question that Google is the one place that anyone working in the tech industry would die to work for. While I do not have any skills as a scientist, programmer or mathematician, I do know however that Google hoovers up general counsels like mad to deal with the increasing numbers of lawsuits targeted at them.
- Apple
- I’m a certified Mac Cultist, so where else would I go if not Google?
Fashion
- Ralph Lauren
- Because when it comes to men’s fashion, no one else beats the class and style of Ralph Lauren (except maybe Brooks Brothers). That being the case, it would be a pleasure to do trademark and design enforcement for their legal department.
- Marc Jacobs
- I love his stuff. Is that a good enough reason to work for someone? Yes it is.
Maybe I’ll be lucky and someone from Google or Ralph Lauren might happen upon this post and decide to hire me. haha.
I’ll direct my Cali fans to you lah, including the ones from Mountain View, CA..Googleplex!

What about becoming a defence attorney like Phoenix Wright?

Indeed it is. I think they might be opening up shop in the AsiaPac area soon. Then again, I’ve not been keeping up with my friend from Google so it’s hard to tell.

Im just wondering, being a fellow law student in melb uni, the words are that its rather difficult for us non-PRs to actually find jobs here, especially when your results are pepectually on the borderline case (which is mine). What’s your take on this? I’m in my 3rd year, but is currently flustered by all my final year classmates who are facing this dilema now.

As a matter of practice, you’ll have to earn your stripes as a practicing lawyer first before companies will take you in as an in-house counsel.
