<p>one more thing for shy people to think about – people on this board often act as if a degree from one of the top law schools guarantees you your choice of jobs at any top law firm. well the school you attend will certainly help you get a foot in the interview room door, but unless things have changed since i went to law school there is a fairly extensive interviewing process – and some people fair much better than others in that process – in fact i knew some fellow students (at a top law school) for whom the face to face interview was their greatest hurdle in getting a job.</p>
<p>what type of people do you think lawyers are generally looking for? shy quiet ones? or ones that are comfortable talking with people and come across as confident and at ease? </p>
<p>again, a shy person really has to consider what their career goals really are and how their shyness may impede them.</p>
