Career Calisthenics:
Whipping Your Career Into Shape
by Cheryl Rich Heisler
Getting any job in today’s market is hard
work—are you sure that you are doing
everything you can to “work out” all your
career opportunities? If you aren’t putting
in at least as much time and effort
crunching your network as you are your
abs, your career search isn’t in peak form.
As a career trainer for lawyers in
transition, I feel a kinship with all the
personal trainers I see at my local gym. In
a lot of ways, we are in similar positions.
We both have clients that come in to see
us searching for direction. We both want to
help our clients identify and reach realistic
goals by offering directed exercises to help
strengthen their resolve and sharpen their
skills. We each relish in our clients
successes and feel for them when they fall
short. But whereas my compatriots at the
gym can point to the loss of the first few
pounds or inches to reassure their clients
that progress is being made, my clients find
it much harder to see success in anything
less than the acquisition of a new job.
We all know that Rome wasn’t built in a
day, and that (no matter what you read on
the internet) washboard abs can’t be
obtained without sustained hard work. Yet
so many lawyers lose patience and focus
as soon as their first round of letters or
networking attempts fail to yield a job offer.
I guess the legal market was too good for
too long; many of us have never
experienced a real job search and the
persistence that carrying out such a search
requires.
9:45 AM Page 3
So pull on your sweats and lace up your
sneakers—we are going for a trial run
through the career obstacle course for
getting a job in these tough times.
1. Bend and Stretch
When you haven’t been to the gym for a
while, most trainers will start by checking your
flexibility. They will push you and pull you to
see where and how you bend, how “tight” you
are, how flexible (or inflexible) you have
become over the years. Where you start is
just the baseline—you are expected to loosen
up as you begin the training process.
This holds true for career stretching as
well. Are you hung up on only taking a job
exactly like the one you held before? In this
economy, the number of traditional legal
jobs has shrunk considerably. You may
need to figure out a way to stretch your
technical and transferable skills into new
and different configurations so as to be
marketable in areas that are quasi- or even
non-legally related. The good news here is
that just as you can train your body and
muscles to bend and move in different
directions, you can reevaluate your
intellectual skills and learn to see where
and how those skills can be valuable in
other places and industries beyond the law.
This mental stretching can be as painful
in its own way as the physical type. We all
get comfortable with the routines we know
and the comfort that comes with using our
skills in the same ways over and over, but
humans are flexible—we were designed to
be adaptable to survive.

Midwest Legal Staffing Guide 2010.qxp:MWLSG 3/1/10
2. Start Slow and Steady
No one would start a new exercise routine
with a triathlon. That just sounds crazy. But
many legal job seekers, in a panic to land
something, do exactly that. Before they
have even thought about what they might
like to do or for whom they might be able to
do their best work, they flood the market
with their resumes. They network
haphazardly. They act without a plan.
And just like running a marathon without
the proper training, they crash and burn,
injuring themselves in the process.
A smarter approach is to work up to
being ready to present yourself to your
target markets in a controlled fashion. I am
all for maximizing contacts in a given
arena, but I believe there needs to be a
strategic component to who you target,
when and why. I try and encourage my
clients to learn something from every
networking meeting they have, and then to
dial that learning into the next level
contact. When an opportunity is available
for a position, submit a tailored resume
and cover letter that speak directly to your
qualifications for that specific position.
Don’t consider an afternoon on LinkedIn
asking random folks to “friend” you as
quality job search time.
3. Build On Your Progress
In the gym, once you can do 10 push-
ups, then you work toward 15. Once you
can do 15 repetitions of your bicep curls
with 10 pound weights, then you try it
again with 15 pounders. Whether you are
aiming for strength or flexibility or speed or
stamina, you always keep building.
A job search is like this as well. Even
after you have had a few good interviews,
keep plugging! Some jobs just won’t be
9:45 AM Page 4
offered to you, despite a fantastic interview.
Not all positions actually come to fruition;
budgets or head counts can get cut even
during an interview cycle. And coming in
second is not always a bad thing—even
when you are not the one actually offered
the job, being so close to the top should
remind you that you did have most of what
they thought they wanted for the slot, and
you should reach out and investigate
related jobs at related companies who
might very well see the same positives in
your background as did the first group.
4. Rejoice in Your Results
Progress in the gym can be measured in
lots of ways: increased strength, decreased
pain, higher tolerance, lower weight. There
are also intangible measures of success:
you feel a little better, you have more
energy, you look healthier. Plenty of
tangible and intangible results can be yours
from a well-conducted job search also. Your
network increases, your confidence grows,
your sense of where and how you can add
value to an organization crystallizes. If you
use your search time to volunteer or take
an internship, you can develop new skills
and realize the benefits of giving something
back to your community.
Best of all, these results are just as real
as the new job will be, when you land it.
So, if you can manage to stay on track with
both your physical and job search routines,
just think how great you will look (and feel)
when you start your new position!
