It’s not unheard of for NQ stats to be a slightly optimistic representation of the reality. Particularly when the numbers who leave in the first year are taken into account.

Legal Week notes that Camerons retained an above-average 79% of its 29 trainees qualifying in March, but that two of the group were offered contracts of just one year and six months respectively. Both NQs will spend the the first six months on secondment. The former will then do a further six months back at Camerons.

Which seems a little dicey at first glance but when one consider the alternative it’s really not that bad a deal. A short term contract (and some job hunting on the side) as the economy scrapes along the bottom; or sofa, daytime TV and job hunting…as the economy scrapes along the bottom?

We all know it’s easier to find a job when you already have one.

Cuddly Camerons proves accommodating.
