Summary

Discussed in this Episode:
- Customize your resume
- Identify the firms
- Look for Opportunities
- How can you help the firm?
Customize Your Resume
Why do you want to work for a particular firm? Be specific with your resume and share your intentions. When you join a firm, you’re a part of a team and a generic resume doesn’t show why you’d be a good fit.
Identify the Firms
Find 3 law firms that you really like and get to know everything about them. For one, so you can give a good interview and two, so you can know if you really want to work there.
Look for Opportunities
Don’t just submit resumes, look for events or other opportunities to meet lawyers. Sometimes all it takes is one really good recommendation from a trial lawyer.
How Can You Help the Firm?
It’s not about how they can help you. If you want to get hired, you need to be able to show what qualities you can bring to the table.
