A Different Approach/A Different Perspective There are a number of legal career counselors available to lawyers seeking career guidance. However, most of these counselors concentrate exclusively on assisting attorneys in finding alternative careers where they can utilize their legal education, rather than assisting attorneys in repositioning themselves within the legal profession. Interview and career counseling services are available, albeit in a more limited capacity, through recruiters who assist attorney candidates in targeted job searches. Law schools offer career counseling and legal placement services to their graduates, yet often at a point when young lawyers may not fully grasp their own desires or the breadth of opportunities within the legal field. Many attorneys, eager to continue their practice and not interested in leaving the profession, often require support in securing their ideal position, mastering the interview process, or strategically planning their career advancement, yet they frequently slip through the cracks. They are not seeking a total career shift, nor are they linked to a recruiter preparing them for a job interview with a particular prospective employer. Rena is dedicated to supporting these lawyers: attorneys devoted to the practice of law, navigating the interview process, creating their business plans, and seeking guidance on how best to position themselves in the job market to advance their legal careers. She is committed to being a true ally, rooting for their success, and offering the help they need to thrive in their legal careers. .jpg) |
