Using Fall Break to your Advantage in the Job Search

If you read the WSJ Law Blog interview about networking, you know that coming up with a networking plan is a key to moving your job search forward. And, with Fall Break a little more than a week away, now is the time to develop and implement that networking plan.

The Fall Break provides a great opportunity for you to focus your networking efforts. If you have not done so already, Fall Break is the time to contact alumni practicing in your target city, join local bar associations and organizations and attend a networking event, or attend a CLE course on a topic that interests you. In short, do everything you can do to meet practicing attorneys and grow your network of contacts.

If you need some tips to help you get started, be sure to stop by the CSO before Fall Break for an alumni list or to talk about ideas you have for connecting with practicing attorneys.

And, for tips on online networking, be sure to mark your calendar for the CSO’s workshop on October 27th at 12PM. The workshop will focus on effectively using tools such as LinkedIn in your job search.
