[blindlaw] Advice for interviews:Re: blindlaw Digest, Vol 31, Issue 1

[jts220 at charter.net]

Noel has a good point.  Good job landing those interviews.  I have my own firm now but worked for a successful firm right out of law school.  I had some staff to help me but I always foudn that when a mistake was made in a case I was the first one to get the blame.  I worked very hard for that firm and put in lots of time I did not have to put in to try and show my boss that I coulddo the job.  On my own I now discover that it was not me making those mistakes.  My practice is doing very well and other attorneys always tell me what a good job I am doind presenting my cases, even when I lsoe.  Now I am not saying that I am some great lawyer.  I got off track.  My point is always keep your self esteem and don't let others in the workplace drag you down and lay balem on you when you are doing a great job.  Call if you have any questions.
