How Experience at an 카지노 Law School Forum Sparked a New Career Path
Kristen Juhan crunched the numbers and found her career wasn해외 카지노 추천t adding up. She해외 카지노 추천d majored in business economics in college and was working as a certified public accountant, but it wasn해외 카지노 추천t as fulfilling as she해외 카지노 추천d hoped it would be. 해외 카지노 추천After a few years, I started looking at my career trajectory,해외 카지노 추천 she says. 해외 카지노 추천I wasn해외 카지노 추천t particularly interested in being a controller or a CFO or rising in the ranks of an accounting firm. My day-to-day work was a lot of time in Excel sheets, and I wanted to read and write more, and think more critically.해외 카지노 추천
Certain areas of Juhan해외 카지노 추천s work involved collaborating with lawyers, and she says she envied the things they were able to do. 해외 카지노 추천Their work was so much broader and more stimulating in my mind,해외 카지노 추천 she says. That feeling led her on a path of career change 해외 카지노 추천 one in which 카지노해외 카지노 추천s Law School Forums, which are going on right now, played an important role.
The forums are designed to allow law school candidates, or people just curious about earning a law degree, to connect with law school representatives, become more familiar with the application and admission process, and, more generally, learn about what legal education is like. This year, the forums have moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is one event left: Saturday, December 12 (registration has been extended to December 10).
Juhan attended an in-person forum in Chicago in 2011, at a time when she was really starting to question her current career path and look into law school. 해외 카지노 추천A lot of people called me crazy,해외 카지노 추천 she says. 해외 카지노 추천I was looking at taking on a lot of student debt, I didn해외 카지노 추천t know where I wanted to be geographically or what I wanted to specialize in, and job security for recent law grads is never guaranteed. The forum was a great opportunity to canvass my options. I focused primarily on practical aspects of programs to try to understand how I could become a successful working lawyer. These included things like job placement statistics and experiential opportunities.해외 카지노 추천
What came next would set Juhan on her new path. 해외 카지노 추천I was walking around the forum with a big pile of pamphlets,해외 카지노 추천 she says, 해외 카지노 추천and the Tulane Law School table was in my line of sight. I didn해외 카지노 추천t even know what city Tulane was in at the time!해외 카지노 추천 She spoke for 20 minutes with Susan Krinsky, who is now 카지노해외 카지노 추천s executive vice president for operations and chief of staff, but at the time was Tulane Law해외 카지노 추천s dean of admissions. 해외 카지노 추천She was really interested in my story and my motivations for law school, and I think the seriousness with which I approached this decision impressed her,해외 카지노 추천 Juhan says. 해외 카지노 추천I emailed her when I got home that evening and reiterated my interest in the program, and I continued to update her on my work and other activities. Ultimately, I ended up being accepted, and I attended Tulane in large part thanks to this interaction.해외 카지노 추천
At Tulane, Juhan thrived, graduating in the top 5% of her class. That, combined with her business and accounting background, helped her land a coveted job at a large law firm. After four years there practicing corporate law, she had acquired enough skills, she believed, to be effective as an in-house counsel. She now works at a financial services technology company.
If you해외 카지노 추천re in a similar situation as Juhan was, is a career in law for you? She recommends doing a lot of research on what being a lawyer actually looks like. 해외 카지노 추천Don해외 카지노 추천t be shy about reaching out to people in your network or that you해외 카지노 추천d like to meet,해외 카지노 추천 she says. 해외 카지노 추천You해외 카지노 추천d be surprised how willing people are to share their knowledge and mentor you.해외 카지노 추천 She adds that for her, having been out of school for several years and on another career path wasn해외 카지노 추천t a detriment, but an asset. 해외 카지노 추천There해외 카지노 추천s a lot to be said for somebody who has been showing up to work every day,해외 카지노 추천 she says. 해외 카지노 추천They understand the skills required to be successful in a working environment, how to answer to authority, and how to take criticism and manage their time.해외 카지노 추천 Law schools and law firms value that, she says.
해외 카지노 추천People can be intimidated by the thought of going into law,해외 카지노 추천 she adds. 해외 카지노 추천It can be demanding and competitive, and there are moments when it can take everything you have, but there is a place for you in it. I am continually validated and empowered in choosing this as my second career.해외 카지노 추천
