On this week's episode, the ladies chat about internships in law school.

But before they dive in on that topic, Samantha shares how she stopped drinking coffee for a year, what she learned about herself! She had her 1st cup of coffee in a year, at her internship, so it felt appropriate to share!

Then Samantha shares her internship story. From how she got it to why she is still there. She says at first she was scared to ask questions, but as she became more comfortable at the office she realized she had to ask questions to learn!

Samantha’s tip for working at the firm: If you have an opportunity to talk to one of the lawyers at your dream firm, DO IT! Don’t be scared to put yourself out there because that is how you get confidence.

Then Haylie shares her story from her most recent internship. She found the job listed on simplicity and applied immediately. At the interview, she knew she had found a great firm to learn about employment law, so when they offered the job to her on the spot she thought it was fate.

Haylie loves working and especially in employment law, so it was hard for her to see the problems she was having. When she started full-time during the summer, she realized it was hard for her to feel comfortable asking questions because she felt like she had to impress people. Because of that many times, she felt lost and alone. She wishes she would have asked for more feedback, but because she doesn’t want to live with regrets, she says remember that for your next job!

Never forget that there are jobs outside of the law and as Haylie and Samantha move towards their first job out of law school, they have realized that there is not just one path. So keep your mind open!!
