Not Interviewing 101 By J. Murray Elwood
A way to prepare for most job interviewing questions without remembering 101 different answers.

Instead of moving into a comfortable corner office, Andy found himself out on the streets looking for a new job.

Choosing a Legal Specialty By Susan Goodman
As a lawyer, one of the most common questions I get from people I meet is “what kind of law do you practice?” Perhaps it is the prevalence of this question that makes so many young lawyers feel the pressure to choose an area of law in which to specialize.
HOWEVER, YOUNG LAWYERS, PARTICULARLY RECENT GRADUATES, rarely have the experience necessary to make an informed decision about what area of legal practice best suits their interests and talents. Very few young lawyers have had any true practical experience upon which to base their decision and, instead, rely on how much they enjoyed a particular class or classes offered at their law school--an experience that rarely reflects the daily tasks that a practicing lawyer in the chosen field performs.
