I hope this helps you try and understand how LinkedIn works. I have had a great experience. The hard work paid off when I got two writing stints and an internship offer through LinkedIn itself. By Neeati Narayan

 

A focus on becoming aware of what direction the student wants to pursue. Investing time and effort in realizing where one wants to end up is preferable as opposed to making a quick decision based on the norm. In law school, immerse yourself in many projects/internships so that you recognize what works and doesn’t work for you.

It is very important to have fun at what you do (for example, if you like playing football it is irrespective if you play for Manchester United or Liverpool; on second thoughts I think I will stick with Man Utd) and more importantly, it is important to be true to yourself.

Taking the decision has not been easy. There have been a fair bit of sacrifices and conscious cut down in lifestyle choices to becoming financially sustainable.However taking the decision has been liberating and you feel vulnerable and naked of sorts letting yourself open to the world!

Like a wise man once said: “To be independent of public opinion is the first formal condition of achieving anything great.” One more thing - we never see it that way but law school helps us tell stories. After all, we’re really telling great stories (hopefully true!) in moot courts etc.! Telling stories well is a powerful skill set - useful right through life.
