Are You a ''Me-Focused'' or a ''You-Focused'' Interviewee?
By Dan Binstock, Esq.

When most attorneys prepare for job interviews they come up with lists of questions they should ask. Most of these questions are questions to which the candidates/interviewees (the people interviewing for the jobs) would like to have answers. However, most attorneys do not consciously realize that questions generally fall into two categories.

How to Survive and Thrive during an Unplanned Relocation to Join a Future Spouse
By Deborah Acker
Managing Director, BCG Attorney Search, Palo Alto

Many junior attorneys work incredibly hard for four years to get top grades at first-tier law schools, work on law reviews, and get offers from prestigious firms. Then, they face unplanned speed bumps in their careers when their fiancés feel it is time to live in the same city, get serious about their commitment, marry, and settle down. Legal recruiters receive many questions in relation to different versions of this scenario. The following is what I tell attorneys in this position. (Many of these thoughts may apply to same-sex couples as well, where one partner is relocating to meet the needs of the relationship.)

The Truth and Nothing but the Truth—But Not the Whole Truth
By Stephen E. Seckler, Esq.

Although the practice of law has undergone enormous changes in the past two decades, one thing remains constant: integrity still counts for a lot in the legal profession. A lawyer who bends the truth in advocating on behalf of a client may find himself facing disciplinary action. A law student or associate who materially misrepresents her credentials at an interview may be shown the door if the misrepresentation is discovered at a later date.

Tips for First-Time Job Seekers
By Jamie Bailey

This year I joined the legions of die hard Cubs fans at Wrigley Field to attend the play off game against the Arizona D-backs. The last time I attended a Cubs playoff game was the 2003 playoff game against the Florida Marlins - the infamous Bartman game. Watching the Cubs is like being on an emotional roller coaster. Who could have guessed that the D-backs would hit a home run on the first pitch of the game, or that during the fifth inning the Cubs would come back to load the bases and the inning would end on a double play. What could be perceived as a lack of execution and enthusiasm, blunders and the overall malaise on the part of the Cubs was astonishing. And the corresponding extreme shift in human emotion and support among what were just a few minutes prior the most loyal Cubs fans confirmed that my emotions mirrored those around me. One minute the man sitting behind me was expounding how he knew we were headed for that ''Blessed World Series Trophy''; the next minute he was raising his 5th beer to the heavens beckoning, ''Parents, take your children home to bed. They should not have to witness this terrible abyss we are about to enter.''
