California bound? Will you be in Los Angeles over spring break? If so, Jason Liang, Partner (’07) and Racel Gezerseh, Partner at Liang Ly LLP would like to connect with you and give tips on breaking into toe California job market.
Breaking into the job market as a new or prospective lawyer can be incredibly nerve-wracking, not to mention extremely competitive. Lawyer, speaker, and author of The Law Career Playbook, Rachel Gezerseh, found that out the hard way. While a student at Southwestern Law in 2007, Gezerseh realized first-hand the ferocity of the post graduation job market, and she knew the only way to differentiate herself was through her own personal branding and marketing, things she hadn’t learned in class.
Through a lot of trial and error, Rachel landed her dream career in law, and now uses her self-taught expertise to mentor and guide aspiring law professionals to legal careers they’ll love. The Law Career Playbook explains the importance of resume-building and networking in the field. It also educates readers on branding strategies that will set them apart from the competition, no matter their background.
California-based lawyer, law professor, writer, and accomplished speaker Rachel Gezerseh is the author of The Law Career Playbook (January 2019), which focuses on helping new and aspiring lawyers learn to market themselves and get ahead in the competitive legal industry.
After 10 years as a Business Litigator at Jones Day in Los Angeles, Rachel is now a partner at boutique law firm Liang Ly LLP and continues to focus on complex commercial litigation in federal and state courts. She recently joined the part-time faculty at the University of Southern California as an adjunct law professor.
In addition to creating the popular Break Into BigLaw and BIBL Voices blogs, Rachel has also been featured in Bloomberg Big Law Business and ABA For Law Students.
