This week in the world of Employer Development....
While in Los Angeles last week, I met with a 1985 graduate of the Law School who is a managing partner at a mid-sized litigation firm who gave me some advice that he wanted me to pass on to you:
In cities like Los Angeles, with such a high number of recent law school graduates practicing law, any experience working as an attorney is valuable-- even if that experience is not in the area of law where you ultimately see yourself. Attorneys with one to three years of experience are highly sought after. Once you reach the five to seven year plateau, you can pretty much write your own ticket. Even if you don’t get the perfect job in the area of the law that you want right after graduation, the most important thing is getting the experience. It will get a whole lot easier getting the ‘perfect job’ after just a few years.If you would like more information on this alumnus, (who is in the process of hiring clerks and permanent positions), please speak with a career counselor here at the CSO!
