Virtual Career Consultant

If you’ve ever worked with a career coach or counselor, you’re no stranger to such assessment tools as Meyers-Briggs, Strong-Campbell and the Enneagram. As accurate as they are, though, they still don’t answer the lawyer’s eternal question – what can I do with my law degree? Recently, Denver lawyer and career consultant Angelique Electra developed a unique assessment instrument. She calls it The JurisDoctor Profiles Assessment. It theorizes that there are 7 lawyer types, each with its motivation, challenges and career options. Which type are you? Read the profile descriptions on the pages that follow, and find out – at last – what you should you really be doing with your law degree. Think of this assessment as your virtual career counselor.
