[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't hire you as a lawyer, but in an administrative position, sure.[/quote]

You sound awful and short sighted.  You would want a trained lawyer to be your admin. rather than maximize her education and expertise?  If yhat is the case, you clearly aren't a very good manager of human capital.  Your attitude suggests low self-esteem and a lack of leadership qualities.  For ex., your desire to take this SAHM- lawyer down a peg rather than to maximize her contribution tells me you have no business as part of the hiring committe at any decent corp or law firm.

No doubt the op can and will find a more clever and innovative boss than you.[/quote]

Hmmmm...hit a sore spot?

Look, if you've been out of the workforce for several years, you can't expect to come back at the same level as you did previously. Depending upon how long you've been out and whether or not you've been doing the same level of work while not full-time make a big difference for hiring. I wouldn't hire a lawyer who's been out for 5 years, who hasn't handled complex litigation, who's completed only a few document review-type projects, as an attorney. I don't think anyone who's in a position to hire would.

In an admin position, a person with considerable skills and former experience would be expected to move up more quickly than someone who didn't have her background. But there is NO WAY she should expect to be hired as if she hadn't been away for the amount of time it takes for some newly minted JD to come up for junior partner.[/quote]

Do you have a JD?[/quote]
