A sibling interview to mark the start of an apprenticeship.
We warmly welcome all new apprentices and would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all graduates once again on successfully completing their apprenticeship!
At the end of August, we look back on a special moment from the start of the month: Paul began his commercial apprenticeship at LLB, while his sister Eva had just successfully completed hers. In a personal interview, Eva shares with her brother how to not only survive an apprenticeship at LLB, but how to truly master it.
Paul: Eva, you've made it – three years of a commercial apprenticeship at LLB. What do I need to know to avoid failing miserably right from the start?
Eva: Don't worry, you won't fail miserably. But here are my five most important tips:
1. Ask – always!
Nobody expects you to know everything. The practical trainers are incredibly helpful. If you don't understand something, just ask. It shows that you're interested.
2. Be open to new things
You'll get a taste of different departments – make the most of it! Each placement will give you new perspectives. Even if you find yourself in an area that doesn't immediately suit you, learn from it.

3. Stay organised
Between vocational school, industry courses, and work, things can sometimes get stressful. A good calendar and to-do lists are worth their weight in gold. And remember: Deadlines are sacred!
4. Be yourself
LLB places great value on personality. You don't have to pretend. Be friendly, curious, and show what makes you unique – it's always well received.
5. Use your network
You'll get to know lots of people – other apprentices, trainers, and colleagues. Stay in touch and exchange ideas. It will help you professionally and make your time much more enjoyable.
Paul: That sounds doable! And what was your highlight?
Eva: Definitely the apprentice projects and events like the apprentice camp. You'll see that at LLB, it's not just about work – it's about growing together. And now I wish you lots of fun, Paul – enjoy the experience. It'll be over faster than you think!
