Sage advice...
So I asked a friend for career advice. For some reason, this part of his message resonated with me. Maybe this will mean something to anyone out there looking for a job!¨Graduating with Honors, passing the bar exam, and living in the library is less than or equivalent-at-best to a law degree, passing the bar exam, living and researching abroad, leadership experience, global-business management and negotiation, and an undergraduate degree from a well-respected basketball school in the Mid West. The bar exam is what gets you in the door (and your network, etc). But the job is given to the person who makes the best sales pitch once that door closes behind you and the interview begins. That's a life lesson, kid. Cause when it comes down to it, undergraduate, advanced and professional degrees still only explain that you've mastered the minimum skills necessary to lace-up your wing-tips. The Firm is going to want to mold you into a player. All they need to know is that that you want to play THEIR GAME THEIR WAY and that you WILL BE rookie of the year. Period.¨
