What skills had I acquired from these experiences? Mostly, I considered myself to be a good communicator, a real “people” person and effective negotiator, artistic, imaginative and passionate. Great!

But don’t many people possess these skills? Aren’t there younger, more educated people with these talents? What made me different? Perhaps motherhood had changed me? I definitely felt more patient, sensitive and mature. But how would I present myself to prospective employers and more importantly, what kind of work was I looking for? I asked these questions to myself, my family and my friends for months-on-end. Finally, the answer came; loudly and unexpectedly. Whilst on a lunch date with my good friend, Mia Rosenblatt Tinkjian, she announced: “K&G is in search of a legal assistant and you would be perfect for the role.”

The rest, as they say, is history. Soon after that day, I met with Steven Konowitz, who both surprised and impressed me in his ability to think outside of the box. What I lacked in job-specific education, I made up for in personality and willingness to learn. The rest of the team turned out to be a talented and refreshingly witty bunch. Thanks to K&G, the past 4 months have been a rollercoaster ride full of intellectual challenges, emotional rewards, educational experiences and lasting friendships.

As the latest recruit of Konowitz & Greenberg, I look forward to working with you in the near future.
