Law Practice Today featured an informative roundtable discussion in their November Webzine (www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mgt11083.shtml) with helpful suggestions for attorneys and students from three nationally known career experts: Marcia Shannon, Shelley Canter, and Kathleen Brady.
They discuss career issues, recommendations to stay employed, how to handle a layoff, dealing with a troubled practice area, spending job search time most effectively, and keeping up spirits and finances.
Some very good points to keep in mind. Worth the read.
