Don’t worry about your resume it will not be an issue if you have a good explanation unless you have multiple short stints in a relatively short period.

Leave. The longer you stay the harder it will be to stay motivated if this job isn’t for you.

Applying to jobs online doesn’t work.

Here’s a better way:

Before a job is posted, it’s talked about among hiring managers and HR.

This is the hidden job market at every company.

You want your name to be in those discussions.

You get your name in those discussions by having conversations with hiring managers and HR at your target companies.

It’s one of the steps in my #CareerBlueprint program which I designed to help get you out of the apply-pray-reject cycle.

Second year associate here who recently switched from litigation to corporate law. I am absolutely swamped while simultaneously having no idea what I’m doing ever and I’m feeling so burnt out. The partners are pretty great and feedback is constructive which I’m grateful for, but I’m so desperate for a compliment I’ve been saving any scrap of positivity in a folder 😭 it’s December 22 and I haven’t done my Christmas shopping because I don’t feel capable of thinking about it. I need a hug.
