Context: I’m currently a full time associate. Right now the case pipeline is quite slim (because economy is bad + many partners have left the firm and take clients with them) and staffer was not so helpful in helping me find a case. I am now available to get staffed and need go my own ways to find a case.
question:
1) Any tips and tricks on networking with project manager/partners in order to land on a case in a particular practice area/case
2) I struggle to know what kind of questions to ask and how to sell myself
3) how can I better leverage staffer to help me get on a case
