Tiffany – good post and solid, practical advice. I would only add a couple of additional points to what you said:
1. Be sure to update your Linked In and other Social networking profiles – those are your “electronic brand” Should be synchronized with your resume and employment goals (another firm, in-house, agency or other.)
2. If you do not have a lot of portable billings, put together a business plan, which outlines your target clients, the likelihood of bringing them in the door and anticipated time to build your practice.

Remember – it is no longer the practice of law, rather it is the business of law. Network, network, network – face to face. Good luck…

This is a nice idea. I look forward to the events. It will be fun to place faces with names.

Comment on Role models by Denise

Tiff,
You made me think of a woman who was a role model for me when I was 19. She was just turning thirty and working corporate for Aveda and was one of the most beautiful, put together, solid, smart people I have ever met. The first day I met her, her first words were, nice to meet you Denise, let’s go to Starbucks and stimulate our metabolisms with some brownies! I loved her immediately. I hoped that one day when I was thirty that I could be as put together as her. Well…since she still remains so high on my list I cannot say I am just yet, but turning thirty next month I can say that I have made it a long way. Thank you Marlo, and thank you Tiff for making me think of her today.

I am a solo practioner. I had to leave a good with the state of tennessee. All I have is computer, phone, printer and I have a struggling solo practice that was doing fairly well until the economic times got bad. Tell me else I need and what service can provide it?

Right on Audrey – planning ahead is critical – like the carpenter says: measure twice and cut once!!!

Nick – I agree absolutely with your comment. Suggest an attorney or professional in transition use LinkedIn – harmonize your profile with your resume and a good (professional) picture. Eliminate the extraneous stuff – but be sure to show a little something about your personal life (hiker, biker, wine lover etc.) as it will humanize your profile.

Comment on Don’t get down by Bob Wilson

Couldn’t agree with you more – I am a fully recovered lawyer and my firm does a good bit of career coaching for lawyers & law firms. We always warn our clients to expect to be surprised as you network – some long standing contacts will treat you like you have the plague – and people you’ve never met before will be extraordinarily kind. Jerks will be jerks – forget them and concentrate on the good ones!

I was cracking up! I completely know how you feel. There is no arguing on one thing though, you will be a beautiful bride.
