The Kubera Principle

The Book That Will Change the World

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones about how to find a job if you struck out at OCI, or never tried it to begin with.

In this episode we discuss:
The job search framework from The Girl’s Guide to Law School series by Katie Slater Developing a big-picture view about your skills and strengths Creating a list of all your contacts and keeping track of your communication with them Trying a tiered approach, starting with your ideal jobs Listing out the steps you need to take in the job search process and keeping track of your progress Tips for mental and emotional well-being while handling an extensive search Getting outside help, from coaches, mentors, family, or friends if you’ve hit a dead end
