- “Connections made while doing good work in volunteer positions can pay dividends down the road,” adds Brett Jolley, a shareholder at the law firm, Herum, Crabtree and Suntag.
- “Proofread everything!…Nothing says you don’t care better than misspellings or botched references,” stresses Amy Ortner, Senior Counsel at Loeb & Loeb in Los Angeles.
