Date: November 21st, 2017 7:56 AM Author: wonderful becky therapy Emailed about a jerb (no opening posted), he suggested we get drinks once he and his colleagues return from trial. Then, he said, he'd be happy to put my "application" through the "official process."
Non service group practice area, fwiw
Partner has my resume and writing sample, not transcript. My resume is misleading in terms of how I did in classes (didn't do great but still copped cool gigs).

do you have some personal connection to this person? ifbhes going out of his way ti meet with you then it is a potential opportunity but it's on you to impress him so he pushes your resume through. |
