Today, we’re talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, about preparing for the 1L job hunt. We’ll also talk about the impact your 1L job might, or might not, have on your future job prospects. There are many rules and restrictions on the 1L job application process and a lot of things to consider when deciding what you want to do with your 1L summer, so tune in for some great information and advice.

In this episode we discuss:

  • When should you start applying for 1L summer jobs?
  • Resources for finding job openings
  • What employers are looking for
  • What you should look for in a job
  • How does your 1L summer job impact future job prospects?
