I just made the switch to my new firm about 3 months ago and the partner and I have not gotten along. I’m a second year in lit, and most of his associates are more senior so he expects us to run point but during the interview I told him I still need a little mentoring. Now, every misstep I make he kills me for it. Should I make a move now or wait it out hoping it gets better?

Can you find other partners to work with at your new firm so that this person only accounts for 20-30% of your billable work, and you can develop better working relationships with others?

Killing you for it is probably his management style

Yup.

Depends on the mistakes and what killing you for it means. Though in general I would not assume it will get better (if anything, I’d expect it to get worse), it will be difficult to jump after only 3 months.

I am currently struggling to get interview opportunities for legal assistant positions. It seems as though my resume is not that great. I was wondering if anyone knows someone who does resume revisions.

On a side note, does everyone mass-resume (using one resume) applying for legal assistant/paralegal job opportunities? Does everyone tailor their resume to every job opportunity that they find on Linkedin?

Thanks in advance!

Made it all the way to final interview rounds, got really amazing feedback the entire time… then last night I get an impersonal email from HR saying they made an offer to another candidate. I’m so shocked and devastated. I really thought I had it, and it was all based on how complimentary they were the entire time. Part of me wants to reach out to some of the folks I interviewed with to thank them again and ask for feedback and part of me wants to go to bed. Should I reach out…?
