Playbook diagnostic

How do I turn my law degree into a job — and stand out in an AI-augmented legal market?

For law graduates who know the market has changed, this diagnostic reveals in minutes where your legal, AI, positioning, and job-search capabilities are strong and where blind spots and weaknesses sit — with the recommendations to close them. It builds a structured view across the four areas that determine whether you land a role and stand out: your core legal competence, how well you use AI responsibly, how clearly you position yourself against other candidates, and how effectively you run your job search.

Who this is for

You're a law graduate or final-year student trying to secure a job in a market that AI is reshaping fast. You want to know whether your legal fundamentals, your fluency with AI tools, your ability to explain your value, and your job-search approach are strong enough to get you hired — and exactly which of them to work on first for the biggest jump in your chances.

What it assesses — four capability groups, 12 capabilities

Legal Foundation & Professional Competence

The core legal abilities employers still expect from any graduate, AI or no AI.

  • Core Legal Knowledge and Reasoning
  • Practical Drafting and Research Skills
  • Professional Ethics and Judgement

Weak fundamentals make you replaceable and unemployable from the start.

AI Literacy & Responsible Use

Your fluency with the AI tools now reshaping legal work — and how carefully you check them.

  • Understanding Legal AI Tools
  • Effective AI Prompting and Direction
  • Verifying and Quality-Checking AI Output

AI illiteracy leaves you slower and easily replaced.

Competitive Positioning & Personal Brand

How you stand out in a crowded, AI-affected market rather than blending in.

  • Articulating Your Unique Value
  • Demonstrating AI-Augmented Productivity
  • Continuous Learning and Adaptability

Blending in leaves you forgotten in every hiring decision.

Job Search & Market Navigation

The practical work of actually landing a role — targeting, networking and interviews.

  • Targeted Job Search Strategy
  • Professional Networking and Relationships
  • Application and Interview Performance

A poor job search wastes all your other strengths.

What you get

  • Live dashboard across all 12 capabilities
  • Blind spots and weaknesses flagged explicitly
  • Prioritised, tailored recommendations
  • Unlimited re-runs to track progress
  • Share your dashboard with a mentor or careers advisor

Who is this diagnostic for?

Law graduates and final-year students actively trying to secure a legal role in a market being reshaped by AI. It's equally useful whether you're job-searching now or preparing to start soon.

Is this just an AI chatbot?

No. You're responding to a fixed set of statements built around 12 named capabilities, not having an open-ended conversation. The structure is what makes your results consistent and comparable each time you re-run it.

Will using AI tools count against me in the results?

No — the diagnostic treats AI fluency as a strength to build, not a shortcut to penalise. It specifically assesses whether you understand, direct and verify AI tools well, since graduates who do this become faster and more valuable rather than replaced by it.

Can I retake the diagnostic as I improve?

Yes. Runs are unlimited, so you can re-take it after acting on recommendations and see your dashboard move as your legal, AI, positioning and job-search capabilities strengthen.

What do I get at the end?
