Spring Break - Use the Break to Your Advantage
Spring Break is here and it’s hard to believe that so much of the semester has already flown by. Take some time over the break to unwind and rejuvenate yourself, but remember that the break can also be a great time to make some big strides in your job search. As a follow-up to our ealier post on spring break strategies, here are a few additional things you can do this week to keep your job search going strong!
• Continue checking Symplicity every few days; take the time to finally apply to those jobs you’ve had marked as favorites for these past few weeks.
• Attend a local bar association meeting or CLE to meet practicing attorneys and build your network.
• Make follow-up calls to employers you’ve applied to but haven’t heard from.
• Reach out to area attorneys for informational interviews and/or shadowing opportunities.
• Use the Employers tab in Symplicity, Martindale.com, or other online legal directories to develop a target list of employers to contact regarding possible employment opportunities.
• Update your resume and brush up your cover letter.
Remember that the CSO will be open Monday through Thursday of Spring Break, so don’t hesitate to call, email, or stop by with any questions or concerns you may have.
