You’re Hired! Job Hunting Advice For Law Students and Young Lawyers
Laying the Foundation for an Alternative Career
Just as it took time, money and energy to become a lawyer, the same will be true if you transition into another career. Count the costs. Study the steps required to get there. Know what it
will cost and how you plan on paying for it. If after you sit down and crunch your plan and the numbers, you decide to take the plunge, seek out a mentor to serve as a sounding board during this new adventure.
Final Thoughts
I believe that the right job for you, the job you were born to do, is out there. It may take time to find it. It may take some rejection. It may take a lot of rejection. But I know in my heart of hearts that each of us was put on this earth with a purpose, if we try hard enough and display grit and perseverance, we will find the job that fits us like a glove, the job that will serve as a vehicle to fulfill our destiny. Good luck and God bless.
