Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast! Today, we're talking with legal recruiter Liz Stone, of Stone Legal Search, about ways to proactively manage your career from law school onwards. A former litigator, Liz works primarily with attorneys in the middle of their careers looking to make a switch and brings to the podcast her insights on decisions to make early on to help ensure job satisfaction and how to best position yourself for a mid-career move.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Competitiveness in the mid-level recruiting market
  • Going in-house: Is it really that easy?
  • Steps to take to position yourself for a mid-career move
  • Suggestions for law students who want to set themselves up for success and happiness
  • Resources to help you figure out what you want in your career
  • Common pitfalls that lead to workplace problems or career dissatisfaction for lawyers
  • Why lawyers are typically bad at business development, and what they can do to improve
