Roadmap: Roadmap: The Law Student's Guide to Meaningful Employment, Third Editio

Description: Roadmap by Neil W. Hamilton "Do you hope to find post-graduation employment that fits your passion, interests, and strengths? If meaningful employment with the potential for career advancement is your goal, this book is your roadmap to develop and implement a written professional development plan to achieve your goal"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description What do you say when a potential employer asks, "Tell me about a project that you have managed and what you learned from that experience; tell me specifically about how you handled a difficult team member in implementing the project?" If you are like most law students, the slightest mention of "project management" or "difficult team member" makes you cringe, evoking painful memories of free-riding classmates. Once your discomfort passes, you either struggle to come up with a meaningful answer or fail to think of an experience demonstrating your project management and teamwork competencies. Would it surprise you to know that was supposed to be an easy question? What happens when you get a tricky question, such as, "What value do you bring beyond just technical legal skills to help our clients be successful?"The Roadmap process transforms this type of challenging question into an opportunity to differentiate yourself from other students. You will not need to wait for a specific question about the value you bring beyond technical legal skills to help legal employers and clients. Instead, you will understand what skills legal employers and clients need and will be able to explain how your strongest skills can help them succeed. You will be prepared with your best stories to demonstrate persuasive evidence of your strongest skills. Author Biography Neil W.

It is the first book that integrates professional development in a manner that could be used in a for-credit course rather than a career-services add-on."--William Henderson, University of Indiana Law Professor and National Jurists most influential person on legal education"With legal services in a time of disruption, it is more important than ever that law students develop effective, proactive strategies for meaningful employment that provide what the public needs.
