Podcast Episode 188: How to Make People Hate You at Work (w/ex-BigLaw Recruiter Sadie Jones)

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, about how to make people hate you at work, so that, basically, you can avoid doing these things.

In this episode we discuss:

• Things to avoid, such as being late on your first day of work!
• How to make a good impression at social events (and how to make a bad one)
• Why there is almost no excuse for not showing up or notifying a host that you can’t make an event
• Why treating everyone with respect, always, is so important
• Why you need to treat summer jobs as the start of your professional reputation
• Why first drafts aren’t really drafts
• That it’s your job to make your boss look good
• Why you need to do your homework, and then ask good questions, to avoid surprises
• How important communication is to success at work
• What to do if you do mess up at work
