When assessing whether to apply for a job, legal professionals tend to view their submission of interest as a commitment they are locked into until the bitter end. This mentality affects how a candidate feels and behaves—and influences the opportunities s/he chooses to pursue … or not. I work with scores of lawyers who find themselves in the anxiety red zone because either they don’t know exactly what they want when they look for greener pastures or they believe that going through an interview process means foregoing an escape hatch. Consequently, fear sets in and they don’t pursue opportunities they should. Or, they go all the way to the end of a process only to reject an offer presented.

Sound familiar? These results are a detriment to everyone involved. So a paradigm shift in thinking about “The Process” is required.
