Carolina P asked:

As a freshman in college, I have decided to pursue a career as legal counsel for a firm.
Sadly, even though I exude confidence in terms of my intelligence and ideas, maintain a healthy physique, and dress well, I’m only slightly attractive young woman.
Studies show that attractive people have a higher chance of being hired, while plain people are left in the dust.
Will my plain looks affect my future despite my positive nature?

mauricecano asked:

These jobs require mainly research. I want to go into private practice (solo or for a firm) in a few years, so I don’t know if these 2 yr appointments to clerk/staff attorney will help or hurt my job prospects in the future. I graduated from law school a yr ago, and was a solo practitioner for about 6 months. I want to switch for now.




What do you think of this career move?

BK asked:

I’ve been working at a business research think-tank for several years and have been desperate to transition into a private sector position. Ideally, I’d like to be in strategy consulting or an in-house strategy/planning or corporate affairs/policy role. Unfortunately, the only offer I’m expecting in the near future is as an R&D manager with an organization development consultancy. This is a boutique firm and most of their engagements are with one major corporate client. The salary is appealing, the position seems challenging and the people at the firm are great. Unfortunately, I don’t see myself in an HR consulting field for the rest of my career.

Is it worth pursuing this as a transitional step for the connections and private sector experience, or am I going to end up pigeon-holed in this field?
