Are you kidding me, Career Services?

Dear 2L Group:

If you will be clerking with a small or mid-sized firm this summer, you don’t want to miss the presentation tomorrow - So What Do I Need to Succeed at a Smaller Firm?

[So and So] with The [X] Firm will cover what he believes are the keys to success in a smaller firm, including:

· How to exceed your employers’ expectations this summer

· How to move with a purpose and have a sense of urgency

· The importance of listening to your employer

· How to make sure you understand your work assignments

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Thoughts:

1. Move with purpose and have a sense of urgency? This sounds like a lecture on finding a public restroom when your bladder is really full.
2. Listen to your employer? Understand assignments? This sounds like the most important and helpful program KNOWN TO MAN!!!
3. I suppose none of these topics are relevant if you are working in Big Law. They will probably have a special program about levitating and drinking games.
