284: How to Frame Non-Academic Aspects of the Job Hunt

The Law School Toolbox Podcast: Tools for Law Students from 1L to the Bar Exam, and Beyond

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about all of the non-academic aspects of the job hunt -- in other words, what legal employers are looking at, besides just grades.

In this episode we discuss:

What are the non-academic experiences/abilities/activities you can think about highlighting in your resume and interviews?
Why are legal employers looking at things outside of grades?
A few things that might seem impressive but not be worthwhile to most employers
How to figure out what about your background is best to highlight
The benefit of bringing up whatever it is that makes you diverse
Presenting a well-framed personal story during the interview process
