Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad.

Find distressed properties for pennies on the dollar and turn them for huge profits!
Let’s face it, Real estate education has lost the script. Everybody “claims” to have the secret sauce. They get you to sign up, get you to bite on a “magic” formula, but there’s no real tools to get there. There’s so much talk, no practical steps. It’s not instructional, it’s hype. The ideas aren’t focused on your success, it’s focused on theirs. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’ve been searching for a way to escape the rat race and achieve true financial freedom wholesaling real ...

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, about what to do if OCI didn't go as planned, and you didn't end up with a summer associate offer for your 2L summer. All is not lost!
In this episode, we discuss:
- Whether you can get a BigLaw summer associate position if you don’t get one through OCI
- Can you ask for feedback from the firm – officially or even unofficially – as to why you didn’t get an offer?
- Taking a long hard look at the potential deficiencies in your application – is it your grades? Your interview skills? Fix them and try again!
- Is this a blessing in disguise? How to use this as a growth opportunity or as a second chance to really evaluate if BigLaw is where you want to be
- Talking to career services – they often get a bad rap but they’re the first one firms go to if they need to hire more summer associates
- Hustle – if you really want this, you’re going to have to work for it – network, make coffee dates, get creative
- At the end of the day – find some kind of legal job even if it’s unpaid
