BCG Q&A
Question:
I am a mid-level corporate associate, and have just been told that I am being laid off because there is not enough work in my practice group. My firm is giving me three months to find a new position. One of my friends at the firm has advised me that I should not tell my headhunter the truth about my situation because it will only hurt my chances of finding a new job. Is this true?

You Need to Be Self-Managing and Responsible
By Harrison Barnes | Dated: 2024-07-27 06:30:19
In this article Harrison discusses the role of self-motivation and self management. Self-motivated and self managed people always perform well. In contrast people who are forced to follow massive amounts of procedures and rules can never perform. It is important that our rituals and sense of responsibility is internal, and something we learn to do naturallynot something we only do when it is imposed on us by people on the outside. The best people in every job are self- managed and responsible individuals. Also, the more self-managed people there are working for an organization, the stronger the organization generally is. Instead of creating problems in the workplace, you should seek out responsibilities, and ritualize your work routine. These responsibilities will drive you forward in your daily work, in your career, and in your life. The post You Need to Be Self-Managing and Responsible first appeared on Harrison Barnes.

Think Strategically When Applying to Firms in a Slower Economy
By Harrison Barnes
This article addresses an issue that may seem like common sense, but is something many attorneys don't fully appreciate. To provide context, it is currently May 2008 and the lateral hiring market in my city (Washington, D.C.) is active in some areas and dreadfully slow in others.
