"I am in my early 40s and am in serious trouble," listened to business coach Alon Gal on his program on Radio 103FM. "15 years ago, I finished law school without an internship. Unfortunately I couldn't fit into the industry and as time went on I also moved away from the profession. Of course that means I didn't do the bureau exams either. In those years I worked in marketing and for the last time I worked in retention. Today, after a long time, I'm not sure if I have a chance to re-integrate and I am debating what to do? Will I have a chance to move forward in this area at my age? "

"I understand your concern and agree with you in principle," Gal replied. "If I understand correctly it is very difficult to find the polling places because there is a flood in the law market. I see life a little different from you. If I put myself in your shoes in your situation I would plow my living area, go door to door of the various law firms and tell My story, about how I gave up on myself and how I want to find myself again and today I want to fulfill my dream. "

"It's been 15 years, but in Thessalonians it doesn't matter," he added. "Every person who comes to an internship immediately after graduation finds that the distance he has connected with what he has learned to the greatest job. At first you start working and learning through your feet. When a guy like you walks in the door, he admits his mistake And comes with Drive to storm the profession and be the best intern in the office - there's a very high chance they'll be hired. "

It is all a matter of will

The listener wondered if his opening data had any chance of young people just graduating. Alon responded positively: "Your story sounds a lot more interesting to me," he stressed. "A 27-year-old who sends a resume to law firms after completing law school when there are 700-800 people like him can't compare to the special story you tell and it makes a difference. "You worry about the difficulties but it's not a reason not to live your life the way you want to live them. It's all a matter of access. You end up not interested in the grade on the exams and how he chose to copy his facts but the person he is facing and the skills he presents."

Alon even shared the listener with his personal story after the military when he was looking for a job: "After my military service I was looking for a job, I contacted the swimming group manager in my area and he hooked me up with a group of people with health difficulties who pay dues and hold the club but made it clear they would not be swimmers. The story and tell you that within two years I made the team to be Haifa's swimming team. When there is a challenge - manage it the way you want to manage it. "
