[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, post got cut off. The keys to getting hired are the right skill set, experience, personality fit, and a willingness to see things from the business stakeholder's perspective. This last skill can be hard for BIG LAW associates, mostly because they have little direct client contact, and even if they have some, they aren't the ones who give client advice. However, this skill can be learned IF an associate has a strong interest in doing more than just doing what they're told to do. Anticipating business needs, looking beyond the law, and recognizing that everything is a business decision (unless it's illegal, then you don't want anything to do with it and should report to your GC or ethics officer).

To the OP - take some time and think about what you want to do. Once you have an idea, talk to lawyers doing that and ask them what skills and perspectives they have that made them successful in their role. This kills 2;birds with 1 stone. You're gathering valuable information while also networking. [/quote]
