In this episode, Ann interviews Tony Sipp, the Practice Assistant Director at Kirkland. Tony has years of experience in paralegal management and gives us some great insight from a manager’s perspective.
Topics I discussed with Tony Sipp include:
- How to know when it’s time to cut the cord and make a career move.
- What if that career move was a mistake, and you know it in the first 90 days?
- What is a manager’s take on resume gaps and short-term stints when you got out early after knowing it was a mistake?
- Is it still an employee’s market?
- What you should do if you are in a paralegal job that you don’t love.
