Law students: when you& #39;re thinking-what jobs are out there besides the stuff I hear about at school? One tip I tell my students: find a job you think is cool and then "work backwards." Ex: Twitter is looking for a senior legal counsel to respond to govt demands 1/

You can& #39;t get this job right away, but look at the job description. See what skills they want: here, it& #39;s experience working with the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It& #39;s a compliance job (lots of these exist). 2/

Now: some people will stumble on to these jobs fortuitously after a job at the US Attorney& #39;s, or State AG, and they network, etc. Sure, but you can also be *proactive.* I sometimes talk to 3Ls and they don& #39;t realize there is an entire world of cool work out there. 3/

What can you do as a student? "Work backward" from a dream job. Take a class where they cover that work. With everyone virtual now, you can attend conferences you see advertised. Tell them you& #39;re a student, get the fee waived. Ask to talk to alums doing that work. 4/

Oh, here the job that prompted the thread. https://careers.twitter.com/en/work-for-twitter/202008/3bf7b4f9-53d7-4795-8ae8-a69ef359b4f8/286125b7-3f7b-4be2-9e0f-87984f1433b4.html/u-s-sr-legal-counsel-safety-content-law-enforcement-scale.html">https://careers.twitter.com/en/work-f... X/
