Podcast Episode 133: Being Strategic About Your Legal Career (w/ Liz Stone)

February 13, 2018 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox podcast

Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast! Today, we’re talking with legal recruiter Liz Stone, of Stone Legal Search, about ways to proactively manage your career from law school onwards. A former litigator, Liz works primarily with attorneys in the middle of their careers looking to make a switch. She brings to the podcast her insights on decisions to make early on to help ensure job satisfaction and how to best position yourself for a mid-career move.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Competitiveness in the mid-level recruiting market
  • Going in-house: Is it really that easy?
  • Steps to take to position yourself for a mid-career move
  • Suggestions for law students who want to set themselves up for success and happiness
  • Resources to help you figure out what you want in your career
  • Common pitfalls that lead to workplace problems or career dissatisfaction for lawyers
  • Why lawyers are typically bad at business development, and what they can do to improve
