Remember that two-week school break in March that turned into an episode of Black Mirror-meets-higher ed? Yeah, we do, too. Nevertheless, we didn’t call off learning and in spite of all of the Zoom cold calls, saliva testing, and nightmares where you can’t find the “down” stairwell, you all are doing it. Guess who’s doing it, too? Lawyers! They are working from home, going to court in masks, and Zooming the day a way.

What does that mean for your future legal job?

We bring back Nick Alexiou, VLS career counselor and jobs contributor at Above the Law, to chat about how the pandemic-as-baseline moment has changed recruiting and job prospects. And first time guest, Kelly Bahiraei, joins us to offer her perspective of head of attorney recruitment at a large law firm. Nick and Kelly share advice and wisdom on what to expect and how to adjust your strategy. We also get a chance to experience a slice of Nick’s work at home life, which involves a seemingly massive collection of grandfather clocks. It’s a feast for the ears!

Rachael leads us off with a short intro, wherein she reads you a Zen proverb borrowed from a children’s book. (She’s definitely not losing her grip on reality on account of working 100% remotely. Definitely not.)
