(The same is true for real estate - no hyphen.) You might try modeling the contents of your apps after the language in large law firms' webpages to be sure you're using correct (or at least commonly accepted) terminology and grammar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747656814607537842.post-70620693248577761482011-04-01T17:10:41.614-05:002011-04-01T17:10:41.614-05:00I posted in an earlier entry that I think you writ...I posted in an earlier entry that I think you write well. Reading the @bronxzooscobra twitter feed (http://twitter.com/bronxzooscobra) I was reminded of your writing style and humor. I know, of course, that you have to "eat" and all making employment a good thing, but I still think you have a potential career as a writer/humorist - maybe one who captures the unique challenges faced by twenty-somethings in the sunset of the American empire (that sounds a little or a lot overblown, but I think the gist of it may be true).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747656814607537842.post-23307648075804738252011-03-30T09:58:01.239-05:002011-03-30T09:58:01.239-05:00I've posted this comment before so forgive me ...I've posted this comment before so forgive me if you don't want to hear it again - but healthcare/medical malpractice claims is a good field to get into if you're a law school grad, you are interested in the field of health care, but don't particularly want to be a litigator. You may find listings for "professional liability analyist", "claims specialist" or "claims consultant", and in most of these jobs, you get a foot in the door just by having a law degree. That's how I got into this field right after law school 16 years ago and never looked back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747656814607537842.post-1331106652703611632011-03-28T09:42:26.572-05:002011-03-28T09:42:26.572-05:00Don't be shy in emphasizing to Attorney 2 that...Don't be shy in emphasizing to Attorney 2 that they hired someone over you, who screwed up, and now they need you to fix it. It seems their real hold up is they doubt your commitment to the firm. Tell them, repeatedly, that having been in your last job, you really appreciate working there and that you WANT to work there.<br /><br />Assure them that, if hired, you would have every intention of staying with them for the foreseeable future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747656814607537842.post-25708144496365381562011-03-28T00:15:11.679-05:002011-03-28T00:15:11.679-05:00The cost of hiring someone and having them screw u...The cost of hiring someone and having them screw up all the time, added to the cost of having to pay someone to train them (effectively having two employees do the work of one) is a big deal. Make sure they think about that.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341754795161792642noreply@blogger.com
