Following my own career advice about job skills PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 04 June 2008 09:01
Some of my recent posts focused on improving career options by gaining new job skills and keeping job skills fresh through volunteerism or internships. As proof that I follow my own advice, last week I started volunteering as an attorney with my neighborhood legal clinic on occasional Tuesday nights. Encountering subjects ranging from family law to unemployment compensation, I was reintroduced to reasons why I enjoyed having my own practice - but now without the tedious business side.

While I worked for ten years as a labor and employment lawyer, it"s been several years since I met with street walk-ins and talked with people about their problems. I enjoyed it and my two hour commitment quickly ended. It was a relief to see that while a few of my "counseling" techniques were a bit rusty, they are coming back to me. And it doesn"t hurt that I"m a bit of a "know it all" anyway. But if you"ve been reading this blog, you"d already know that!

Quotes

I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in many concerns. - Andrew Carnegie
