Date: July 1st, 2009 4:26 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle Resort Blood Rage Good choice. Advice other than the typical be personal, smart, confident, etc., for Kirkland:
1. Talk up how you want formal training and how KITA (their formal training) is great for that 2. Kirkland likes to see "presence" so confidence is all the more important; obviously dont be a total jackass but Kirkland will give you more leeway on this than most firms 3. Talk about the free-market system and how you're a "go-getter" who will thrive under this system 4. Come across as sharp and polished 5. Maybe mention how you like how Kirkland is doing well ITE and has a good balance of stable practice areas like bankruptcy, IP, white-collar, general lit |

guy 2: "if you make the extra effort to try and balance, you can, on balance, do so." that is, if i mince enough words, maybe this bullshit will sway someone who can't see me nearly mocking myself with facial expressions.
girl: the work is fulfilling and it keeps me happy even though i can't ever see my family.
