Seeking Alumni Volunteers for "Who You Know" Virtual Coffee Breaks
The commitment is just a half hour of your time and you’re welcome to use any virtual platform (FaceTime, Teams, Zoom, etc.) that works for you and the student. This is a great way to welcome a new member to the Seattle U Law community and connect with your alma mater. We don’t intend for this to be an ongoing mentorship commitment, just a one-time, get-to-know-you chat; so if you’re finding your days particularly full right now, this might be the perfect way for you to engage.
If you’d like to be paired with a 1L for a virtual coffee break, please email Erin Fullner, Director of Professional Development & Alumni Relations, by September 18. Later this month, you'll receive virtual networking tips to help you prepare, and the contact info for a 1L to reach out to. If you’re open to chatting with more than one student, please let Erin know.

Job Talk Tuesday: It Only Takes One
"I just need one job. It doesn’t matter what’s out there, it doesn’t matter how many people I’m competing with, it doesn’t matter that it’s a recession - just one job."
It's hard to believe we've come to the close of our summer series, Job Talk Tuesdays, but we're ending with adventure! Shashi Vijay, founder of VJ Law Firm and Chair-Elect of the Washington State Bar Association's Solo & Small Firm Section, discusses going out and boldly creating her own job as a solo practitioner.
Shashi has found great satisfaction as a solo practitioner, working primarily in the areas of business and real estate – for her it was the one right thing. Whether you aim to work for someone else, or have an entrepreneurial spirit that is calling you to create your own job as a solo, heed Shashi's advice that "persistence pays," and remember that all it takes is "just one job – you’ll find it."
If you're seriously considering solo practice, know that Shashi believes, "it is something you can do. You already have the skills, you do have the knowledge." And you don't have to go it alone. Look for mentors, solo practice associations, and others who can encourage you. The law school's incubator program is designed to help lawyers pursue their solo dreams surrounded by support and community, so look into that as well.
Thank you for tuning in each week for interviews with alumni with grit – it's been a privilege to feature their stories. Job Talk Tuesdays will return next summer, so if you'd like to be in the lineup, contact Erin Fullner.

Job Talk Tuesday: What's in a Dream?
"My first job wasn’t my dream job... but I knew that it was a step in the right direction and that it was a crucial step to get to the places that I ultimately wanted to go."
Matt Etter, SU Law Class of 2012
Dreams are not where we begin, they're what we make over time. One of the law school's own career advisors, Matt Etter, Associate Director of the Center for Professional Development, talks about what it means to move from possibility to passion. Matt discusses the self-awareness, patience, and even sacrifices that come with moving closer and closer to discovering what you want out of your career, and then achieving it.
You probably won't land your dream job right out of law school, but what a liberating thought! Once you realize that the first job you take won't determine the course of your entire career, you can start to see possibilities around every corner. We're so fortunate that Matt approached his career with this kind of insight, because he's exceptionally good at what he does, and if he hadn't made room for reflection, curiosity, and openness, he might have missed out on the joy he gets from helping others make their dreams come true, and his very lucky colleagues and students would have missed out too.
Follow Matt's lead: dream with purpose, and dream with patience.

Job Talk Tuesday: Mindset is Everything
"Mindset is everything."
Sarah Cho, Class of 2009"You never know where that not dream job will lead you."
Rachel Luke, Class of 2009"You've got to figure out what's a driver for you."
Kim Sandher, SU Law Class of 2009
Just because there's no baseball, doesn't mean we can't hit a triple! Sarah Cho, Owner and Founder of Peak Justice Criminal Defense, Rachel Luke, Associate Attorney at Friedman Rubin, and Kim Sandher, Attorney at Pivotal Law Group, provide three valuable perspectives on how to succeed in your job search, even when it feels like you're trailing by three runs in the bottom of the ninth.These three attorneys took divergent routes and are in very different practice areas from one another, but they share, in addition to a long-lasting friendship, an outlook marked by drive, persistence, ownership, and versatility. That mindset, coupled with a vision of where each opportunity could lead, brought these alumni to the satisfying careers they're in today.
