DESCRIPTION

Networking events are among the best options for learning about law firms, practice areas, and career paths.  And in today's accelerated hiring process, these opportunities are critical for making the best decisions about your future.  How can you make the most of these opportunities? Start with guidance from a leading expert on law firm hiring.

  • How do you choose who at the firm to network with? (who you already met at events or who they sent to events, people who went to your law school or undergraduate school, people with whom you have a connection, people in practice areas and/or cities you are interested in, also don’t forget about the recruiting team)
  • What should a networking conversation be like? What questions should you ask or topics of conversation should you engage in?
  • Remember: be polite to everyone, never waste someone’s time, be on time, be prepared
