Legal Mentor: Bill Chamberlain

After reading Bill Chamberlain’s recent article in The National Law Journal, I think I want to be like him when I grow up.

From Northwestern’s Center for Career Strategy:

Bill is a 1988 graduate of Northwestern Law and joined Northwestern’s Career Strategy Center from the University of North Carolina School of Law at Chapel Hill where he was Assistant Dean for Career Services. After graduating from law school, Bill served as an Associate at Schiff Hardin, Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Chicago Law Department, and Assistant Dean and Director of Career Services for The John Marshall Law School. Bill has also assumed many leadership roles with the National Association for Law Placement (NALP), including serving on NALP’s Board of Directors. In addition to his law degree, Bill holds a Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and a Masters degree from Purdue University. He is also a talented musician with previous experience as a professional opera and musical theater singer.

Chicago and professional opera singer?  He probably liked last week’s episode of “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me.”

Catch Up: NYTimes’s Valentine’s Day Career Advice

On Valentine’s Day, the NYTimes offered up some career advice.

The piece has such a harsh, disciplinary tone, I wonder if this really is a trend.

Do hiring managers have this experience?

Do job seekers really neglect to send a cover letter?

I’m thinking about all of the cover letters I’ve written.  Was I really the only one?  I can’t believe that.
