Moms-In-Law: The Table Was Full!
17 women attended the "Moms-In-Law: A Kitchen Table Discussion" lunch event on December 1st. Coming from large, medium and small firms, the participants shared advice and experiences on approaching employers about and succeeding with various work schedules. Many topics were touched on, including gaps on resumes for family reasons. It turns out that at least in the experience of those present from smaller firms, gaps raise no concerns or questions in the interview process.
Advice included the experiences of two judges, Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Kirsten Frank Kelly and Wayne County Circuit Court - Juvenile Division Judge Lynne Pierce. Lunch included sandwiches from Jimmy John's.
