185: Thinking About the 2L Job Search as a 1L (w/ex-BigLaw Recruiter Sadie Jones)

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones, about how to start thinking about your 2L job search when you're still a 1L.

In this episode we discuss:

What your priority should be at this point in your 1L year How to get organized and set yourself up for success Why you should engage with your Career Services office sooner rather than later How to maximize your 1L summer experience in your 2L job search Why networking both on and off campus can pay off How to stand out by being prepared and polished from the start of your job search
