How Long is Too Long?
Dated: 01-21-2010

Over the past week, I’ve had several friends of mine (all of whom are either attorneys or investment bankers) ask me, “Is it normal to not hear from my recruiter for several weeks?”  “Is it normal that my recruiter did not call me back in 24 hours?”  They are asking me this because, quite simply, [...] Related posts:

Last week’s Economist (www.economist.com, subscription required) discusses the causes and effects of an every growing female workforce.  Women do currently populate equal or greater-than-equal proportions in our universities and workforces at large, and there is much to be said and written about how this apparent equality is changing industry and economy.

I spent the summer following my first year of law school working at the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) in Washington, DC.

Want to Improve Your Legal Writing? First, Improve Your Writing. (Part I)
By Tom Horne

I am not an attorney.

My specialties are writing, editing, and communications. However, I have spent virtually my entire career working for legal publishers and legal-service providers, and I now speak legalese very well. My experience has taken me to the point where odd phrases like ''of counsel'' and ''sexy boutique firm'' no longer confound me.

What does confound me, however, is the consistency with which I see the same old mistakes in the writings of attorneys and non-attorneys alike.

Could you use an expert opinion on a career or job-search question? We welcome your most pressing questions and are here to provide you with candid, straight-talking career advice.
By Carey Bertolet, Founding Managing Director, BCG Attorney Search, New York

Question:
I have heard that firms are now looking at how many employers I've had since law school. I've practiced for 4 years and moved twice. That's not a lot! Why would a firm refuse to consider me for their associate position?
