0L with Big Law Goals?
Hi! Congratulations to all of you new 0Ls - you did it! This is such a huge accomplishment. As a rising 2L, I can honestly say this year has changed my life. I have learned so much in such little time and know that I can do really hard things. I hate to say this but it is a triathlon until the end of your first year.
If you’re interested in BL, some of you will be targeted in your first month depending on where you go to school. If that is your ultimate goal, it’s time to prep for the next portion of the race. You SHOULD relax this summer, but there are also many things you can start doing to maximize your big law success NOW.
For those of you who are interested in BL, a few former 1Ls from different T-25 schools are thinking of hosting a BL zoom event. If you’re a rising 2L who landed BL (at ANY school) and wanna contribute, PLEASE DM me! We are thinking of doing a zoom to provide the following: materials, resume samples, cover letter templates, talk about our experience, and share what you can do over the summer to prepare. If you have an alum on the call, you’ll have someone in your network on day one and can potentially ask for mock interview screens.
If this is of interest, please like this post so we can gauge how to plan this properly!
