Job Talk Tuesday: Every Opportunity is a Stepping Stone

"Allow yourself to be fully vested in each opportunity for growth."

Archie Roundtree, Jr., SU Law Class of 2018

Archie Roundtree, Jr., the first attorney in his family, embraced the challenging journey of law school with a cheerful grit and determination that set him apart from others.  All those who worked with Archie found his positivity and lust for life infectious, and it was clear that the world was his for the taking.

Listen as Archie shares his advice for new graduates as they enter the legal profession. From starting law school with an open heart and mind to explore, to viewing each opportunity as the chance to further skill development, Archie's mindset and belief in the importance of physical, mental, and spiritual health has propelled him into a career focused on bettering the lives of others, first as an Equal Justice Fellow with Bet Tzedek Legal Services (read more about his EJW fellowship here) and now in his current role as an Equity Attorney for Justice in Aging.

Archie's joyful and motivating approach to professional development is evident in his Job Talk. From reminding you how to be your best self to making clear that "you went to law school in a pandemic - you're the definition of resilience personified!", Archie will inspire you as you begin your post-graduate job search.  Interested in learning more about Archie?
