Young Lawyers Dont Screw Up Your Career

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Young Lawyers: Don’t Screw Up Your Career Abby Gordon is one of my Lateral Link colleagues who works in the Lateral Link New York office. She has great ideas for young lawyers and I’ve asked her to share those ideas in a series of blog posts. In this post, Abby shares the first 14 of 25 things to know to not screw up your law career. Next week I will publish the last 11 things. I was a paralegal before law school. I took four years between undergrad and law school, so I knew a herd of practicing lawyers when I was still applying to law school. I thought I had a leg up on everyone; I thought I had it all figured out. But in hindsight, I realize that there was a lot I did not knowâ€"not in law school and not as I made my way through seven years as an associate with a top international law firm. Now as a legal recruiter, I see associates making the same mistakes over and over. I wish law schools would do a better job of preparing students for the practicalities of the legal industry and not just teach the substance of the law. But until they do, here is my list of key points to understand and mistakes to avoid… Law School & Gearing Up for Practice 1. First-year grades are what matter for securing a summer associate position that will hopefully lead to a more permanent associate position. But for anyone who may look to lateral to another firm or go in-house eventually (and that is most of you!), second- and third-year law school grades do countâ€"a lot. This is especially true for litigators in today’s market. Grades follow you around, so finish strong. 2. Check out bar requirements in advance for any state you might want to waive into eventually. 3.  If you want to become a litigator, strongly consider doing a federal clerkship. This is especially important if you may want to work at a litigation boutique one day. If you are a corporate associate, no one cares if you have done a clerkship.   Picking Your Law Firm 4. Law firm prestige does matter. It is certainly not the only consideration, but to lateral to another firm or move to a company, it is very important. You may get much better hands-on experience and training at a smaller firm, but prospective employers usually do not see it this way. 5. It is extremely difficult to switch practice areas once you start. Pick practice area wisely, based on your personality: • You have to like what you do! Do you enjoy the substance of the work in that field of law? • Keep in mind lifestyle factors when picking your practice area. Some areas have a steadier and more predictable flow of work whereas others have a very unpredictable workflow. • Certain practice areas attract certain personalities more than others. You may not want to go into litigation, for example, if you do not deal well with aggressive personalities. 6. …Based on your academic background: Be sure you have the right background to progress in your practice area. If you have no finance or accounting background or aptitude, corporate work may not be your best option. If you do not have a hard sciences/engineering/computer science background (preferably an advanced degree), think twice about doing science-related intellectual property work. You may be able to get your foot in the door without the science background, but it will be difficult to advance down the road. 7. …Based on geographic factors: Do (U.S.-trained) lawyers do this sort of work where I want to live? For example, if you want to move to a smaller city one day, capital markets may not be the best option. But if you want to work overseas one day, strongly consider capital markets over other practice areas. 8. …Based on market considerations: Understand the current market and think about where you see the economy heading. I would hesitate to pick a specialty that is very dependent on market conditions. 9. …Based on your future goals: Some practice areas lend themselves better to going in-house one day, to going into the government, to setting up shop as a solo practitioner, or to working out a part-time arrangement one day. To the extent you know where you want to end up five, 10, or 15 years down the road, pick carefully today. Again, I cannot stress enough how difficult it is to switch practice areas once you start. 10. Understand the various structures of law firms. It may not be a crucial factor for young associates, but you should at least be aware of the differences and the pros and cons of each. For example, lockstep firms may foster more cooperation and less competition among partners but tend to have more institutional clients and may not encourage the more junior associates to learn business development skills. If you enjoy the business side of being part of a law firm and you think you will have an aptitude for business/client development, consider a firm with a two-tier partnership track (income partners and equity partners), where you may have a better shot at proving your worth as a business-building partner. Law Firm Life 11. Do not trust your firm to manage your professional development. They will not. It is not that they are necessarily being shortsighted or indifferent to your wellbeing, but the reality is that the firm’s priorities are probably not 100% aligned with yours. Perhaps law firms should take greater care in the long-term professional development of their associates (who may be future clients). But until they do, associates must take control of their own professional trajectories, become aware of their options, and… 12. …Do not succumb to inertia. Think about next steps early and often. Whether or not you are happy where you are or looking to make a move, make every choice an affirmative choice. Do not just sit back and let your career drive itself. Take control. Take in information whenever you can. Be aware of your options. 13. Keep up on the latest firm and industry news. It is too easy to get absorbed in your immediate work and neglect the bigger picture. Stay on top of which practice areas are hot and which are not. Keep aware of how well your firm is doing. 14. Knowledge of the law is only one side of being an effective and successful lawyer. You must learn the business side of the legal industry as well. Business development is key to law firm survival. The ability to bring in clients is a key element of making partner and making a livelihood as a partner. Unfortunately, many firms fail miserably at teaching you the fundamentals of client development and encouraging this practice. So be prepared to teach yourself if need be. I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.

9 Ways To Prepare For The Job Interview

9 ways to prepare for the job interview This is not your ordinary career site. I help the corporate worker who toils away in the company cubicle make career transitions. You want to do your job well, following all the rules -- . The career transitions where I can help you center on three critical career areas: How to land a job, succeed in a job, and build employment security. Top 10 Posts on Categories I’ve written a lot on about interview questions. What I’d like to do is go through how to prepare for a face-to-face interview. Here are nine practical ways to prepare for the interview. Usually, the only concrete evidence you have for a job is the job description. Now, there are plenty of poor job descriptions out there (must know Microsoft Office, must be a self-starter, blah, blah, blah), but the description is a good place to start. What you want to do with the job description is to match your job skills with the job description. This is to show the hiring manager that you have the skills to do the job. If the job description says you need to have managed energy projects for the last three years, you need to write the energy projects you’ve done over the last three years so can quickly talk about the projects and your role in them during the interview. When you find items in the job description that don’t necessarily match your job skills, write what skills are similar to the ones asked for on the job description. No one has 100% of the job skills necessary to do a particular job; your work here is to get you as close as possible. Standard advice here. If you don’t know what the company does, what it’s products are and who their customers are, you won’t relate your work to the company. Plus, it will be a clear sign to the hiring manager that you haven’t done your homework. Having similar products or the same customers in your earlier work will tell the hiring manager that your ramp up time on the job will most likely be less than someone without a similar background. My father was an attorney and I have this little saying on my desk: A good lawyer knows the law; a great lawyer knows the judge. It’s great to know the company; it’s better to also know the interviewing manager. Now, a great many pundits suggest that it is great to throw out things you know about the hiring manager during the interview, but I don’t advocate it. The reason? It’s too tempting â€" and easy â€" to come off like an online stalker to the hiring manager. And, you might get the wrong person with the same name and look like a total fool. Instead of spouting off all the online facts you know, use the information to start determining what you have in common with the hiring manager. In the interview, you bring up what you think of as the common interest and see if the hiring manager picks up on it. Whether the hiring manager mentions it or not, you still can set a point of commonality during the interview. So don’t stalk. Practice, practice, practice. Your answer to every interview question should show either your job skills, your reasons for wanting the position, or how well you work with others because that is what the hiring manager is ultimately looking to find. And you need to show your accomplishments by using numbers, reports or statements to help prove your accomplishment. We don’t talk like that. Which is why you need to practice. You should have goals for this position. Sure, it may be simply to get the job so that you can survive, but once you have the job, you will want to do something with the work. What will those accomplishments be? And can the job offer them? Consequently, you want to come out of the interview knowing a few things. Can you work with the team? Can you work with the manager? Is the work going to be challenging? Easy? Hard? Looking at the job description and knowing the environment that you work best should give you the starting points for your planned questions to ask the hiring manager. Everyone says “be on time,” but that is actually poor advice. If it’s a large corporation housed in a 40-story building, it’s going to take time to find parking, get in line at the security desk, time for the person to descend the elevator from the 30th floor to come and get you. And all that is beyond the time it takes to commute to the site. The commute can take 50-minutes if you need to go during rush hour or 20-minutes if it is in the middle of the day. Practicing a one-time commute during the time frame of your interview will give you more confidence simply because you have done it once already. And gauge how long it will take once you get to the building to find parking, get to the right floor, and all the other logistics. I’m not one to set standards, for sure. But off the top, if your interview is in a law firm, you better wear something equivalent to a suit. If it’s a corporation or a place that has uniforms (like a hospital…), you need to wear business casual. I’m not an advocate of showing up in a suit for an interview when the standard in the company is casual. It makes you look like you’re trying too hard or can’t read the crowd right or, most importantly, you won’t fit in with the team. I always ask what the “dress code” is and wear a suit if it is suits and business casual if it is anything else. But dressing sloppy, or not hitting the dress code, or not looking like your shirts have ever been ironed will hurt you. Who knows how many people you end up interviewing with? Maybe the Vice President of the division happens to come into the office while you are interviewing. Wouldn’t it look like poor planning if you weren’t able to give a resume? Yes. The more people who have your resume in a company, the better. During the interview, you will want to take notes. It will help you later when you are relating the interview to your partner and friends and can help with building follow-up questions for a second interview later. There is a difference between nerves and energy. And it’s tough to find the right amount. But too many people shut down the natural energy they have during an interview and it comes across to the hiring manager as you being bored. Or not interested in the job. Or not willing to learn. All bad. I relate it to the energy and curiosity you bring when you are interested in something new. There is a sense of curiosity and questioning and starting with a “beginner’s mind” when you find something new that interests you. That is the energy to bring to the interview. The energy shows you interest in life. All you can do is prepare well for the interview and then use that preparation well during the interview. The reasons for hiring or not hiring someone for a particular job are so varied and changeable over time that thinking you have something nailed or not isn’t worth the worry. What is worth the worry is ensuring you’ve done a first class preparation for the interview.
