Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In today’s episode, we are welcoming back ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones to discuss how much responsibility you should take for your future career — starting as a law student — and what resources are available to help.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why you need to take ownership of your career goals as a law student
- Resources to help if you’re not sure yet what you want
- Looking outside of the standard channels for work opportunities
- How does your mindset factor into your job search?
- The importance of asking for help rather than trying to do everything yourself
- Evaluating each job for clues about what job is right for you long term
- Why BigLaw didn’t work for Alison’s personality
