today a partner at my firm told me a report i drafted for him was "fantastic." also i've been doing some work for another partner and he keeps sending me new tasks so he must like my work.

i'm very happy about this because i'm coming from completely different areas of law and i'm proving that transferability of skills is a real thing and companies need to stop waiting for unicorns to come along!

#it's really frustrating when employers look for unicorns in law in particular #in law your skills are sooo transferable #like i get it that doesn't work for EVERY career field #like you can't just be idk a hematologist and one day decide you want to be a cardiothoratic surgeon #but in any profession that relies a lot on reading and writing skills there's sooo much transferability
