Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, about how to make people hate you at work, so that, basically, you can avoid doing these things.

In this episode we discuss:

Things to avoid, such as being late on your first day of work!
How to make a good impression at social events (and how to make a bad one)
Why there is almost no excuse for not showing up or notifying a host that you can’t make an event
Why treating everyone with respect, always, is so important
Why you need to treat summer jobs as the start of your professional reputation
Why first drafts aren’t really drafts
That it’s your job to make your boss look good
Why you need to do your homework, and then ask good questions, to avoid surprises
How important communication is to success at work
What to do if you do mess up at work
