Knowing Your Objective, Persistence and Focus Will Get You There
[00:00:00] I have yet to take a DISK questionnaire, but I'm very interested in doing so. My guess is that it will be high in dominance, medium on influential, medium on steadiness and high on consciousness. So that's interesting. I'm also a law studentwho was unable able to get a job at a big firm. I always thought I would be a good fit. Is my lack of getting a big firm a sign that I should not be at one?
Totally not. This is ridiculous. Because you didn't get a job at a big law firm while you're in law school or even after law, it doesn't mean you'll never work in one. I placed people in big law.
So it doesn't necessarily matter where you go to law school. It doesn't matter what firm you start out at. Just the skills you have to offer the law firm. So everything is like a horse race. And you want to apply to large law firms after a year or two, you can't.
So your objective, really, if you start, you can go keep going and there's going to be far fewer people than there were. Taking law in your practice area after a couple of years in your location. If you move to a certain market and you want to work in a big firm later [00:01:00] on there's really nothing stopping getting a job there if you continue to apply yourself. Most people that went to great law schools even if they didn't work as a summer associate always get jobs in big firms that they want to, eventually. You just have to think about everything that went wrong when you're interviewing what you could have done differently in jobs you applied to.
Did you only apply on campus or did you apply other ways and that's really how you should look into it.
