(Of Counsel magazine) Perhaps you didn't make law review, as you'd hoped. That's OK, many of the profession's most-successful lawyers graduated near the bottom of the class. Or maybe you earned terrific grades but want to create a competitive advantage to land your perfect job. Law school grades are the principal metric used by hiring professionals―but they're not the only one. If your grades aren't what you'd hoped for, or you're savvy enough to want to put your best foot forward in the hiring process, then you'll need to grab the attention of hiring professionals some other way. This book will show you precisely how to do it. NOW is the time to start creating an impressive, attention-grabbing, job-getting resume. If you read this book, you'll learn powerful new business-development and personal-branding strategies designed to intrigue employers and get you more of the best interviews.
You've worked hard; you deserve a terrific job after graduation, you just need a foot in the door. If your grades won't impress the top firms and agencies, then you'll need to create something that will. But what? That is what this book will detail―how to start building a rewarding, fulfilling career you can be passionate about. We will teach you how to use personal-marketing techniques to set yourself apart from your fellow law students. Or if you're going to open a solo practice, you'll need a brand and reputation that attracts your desired clients. Don't compete on their terms -- tilt the playing field in your direction. Offer more. Do you know how to do that? Probably not. But very soon, you will. We wish you all the success you deserve.
