Career Legal’s Post

🥳Happy FriYAY, everyone!🥳 I had the privilege of attending Northwood University’s 2024 Spring Employment Fair yesterday! Traveling in Michigan during the winter can always be hit or miss with weather and I was lucky enough to be hit by a snow storm on my drive up😂 Although this delayed me from starting on time at the fair, there was still a great turn out from the students! A common theme within the students I spoke with yesterday was that most were student-athletes. I am always looking for the soft skills that college students learn in the classroom…group project collaboration, self accountability to study for a test, critical thinking, and strategic thinking…etc. But have you considered how hiring student athletes specifically might be a great plus to your organization? I found a great article on LinkedIn that I’ll link below. The author mentions 10 reasons on why you should take a second look at a student-athlete applicants: 1. Mental toughness 2. Adaptability 3. Teamwork 4. Work ethic 5. Handles pressure 6. Coachable 7. Competitor 8. Understands failure 9. Goal setters 10. Big picture and the details Through my own experience with focusing on early talent (0-3 years post undergrad) hiring the last two years for Bish's RV, Inc., I can vouch that these qualities DO make you stand out pre and post hire. If you fall in this category, let’s have a chat!

Springtime is upon us... The perfect season for career growth. 🪴 The first whiff of spring air brings a sense of renewal and fresh opportunity, making it the perfect time to consider branching out into a new role within the legal field. As the natural world awakens, firms often reassess their needs, making it an opportune moment for those eyeing a career move. 👀 Firstly, the end of the financial year is upon us. 💷 Firms set new budgets and goals, creating openings for eager legal minds keen on making their mark. It's a time when senior partners are looking for fresh talent to drive the year's objectives. 🥅 Moreover, spring resonates with rebirth and growth 🌻 and isn't that what we all seek in our careers too? It's a season that symbolises starting anew, shedding the complacency of the old, much like swapping winter coats for lighter jackets. Additionally, the brighter, longer days can increase motivation and clarity, essential in fine-tuning your CV and preparing for interviews. ☀️ The positive, energetic ambience of spring can reflect in your outlook, giving you that extra zest during your job search. Remember, when exploring new opportunities, you're not just seeking a job—you're seeking a place where your skills can bloom. 💐 In my role I understand the importance of aligning professionals and firms that share similar values and visions for the future. So, if you're ready to spring into a new career get in touch to discuss your career aspirations and how I can help you find your ideal new role. 📱 #CareerGrowth #LegalCareers #SpringOpportunities
