Even with plenty of time left in the law school semester, students in Chicagoland are already looking ahead to employment for the summer.
That was the case at an event that was attended by Ankin Law personal injury attorney Jake Nabat on February 12.
At DePaul School of Law’s 1L/2L Job Fair, he met with several students looking for summer jobs at law firms in the area, including clerkships. They were carrying their resumes along with several questions for the attorneys on hand from a number of practice areas.
Jake is recently familiar with this process, having gotten his first summer law clerk job at Ankin Law before behind hired as an associate attorney. Naturally, he had plenty of answers ready for students.
“My advice to young law students, especially one and was coming to a job fair, is to get out of your comfort zone and talk to as many people as possible,” said Jake on what he tells students.
