Tips for your Second Career


Here are some tips that may help you with your transition:

  • Bring up your prior experience and why it makes you a better candidate for the job even if the employer does not.

  • Have a thoughtful answer to the "Why law school?" questions.
  • Help interviewers make sense of your prior job shifts.
