Best JOB SEARCH ADVICE: Network Like You Mean It
Networking is universal. As a law student, you will network for your first job, for referral sources and for clients.
You need a solid network to succeed in the legal profession.
Despite the need to network, networking is still a foreign concept to most of us.
We know that most job interviews are offered through networking.
We know that most job offers are given through networking.
We know that a solid professional network will grow our legal career.
And especially, we know that networking requires going outside our comfort zone. Networking is making a connection with another person, establishing a relationship, and nurturing that relationship into a mutually beneficial relationship.
We were delighted to be interviewed for the American Bar Association’s recent article Network Like You Mean It. As Haley K. Grieco put it, “Networking is so much more than exchanging business cards and mingling at a meet-and-greet event. The magic is in the plan.”
Because we believe the magic is in the plan, we’ve created a comprehensive plan for law students to follow to create a plan for networking that will guide students to begin to network and grow their network while still a student. We wrote The Law Student’s Guide to Networking and created The Law Student’s Guide to Networking course to set law students up for career success.
