Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re excited to have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about ways to keep your job search and career planning consistent as a law student, without overdoing it.
In this episode we discuss:
- Finding a good balance between academics and career planning for each year of law school
- How much time to devote to job searching/career planning each week, and what activities to focus on
- How to track your “career” time, contacts, and activities
- Advice for part-time law school students
- What if you’re taking action consistently, but not seeing results?
