I think I spend far too much time kicking over rocks and not enough time figuring out what I am really researching.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525246852660691811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757784031538593414.post-50522406863049761582010-12-26T14:35:59.328-06:002010-12-26T14:35:59.328-06:00Personally, when I am given research tasks I am su...Personally, when I am given research tasks I am super slow also. I think my problem is that I don't quite "get" what legal theory they are expecting me to attack the issue with. So what I suggest is that you spend more time thinking about how you will attack it and less time researching BS. Just like a law school exam.JD-Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683866849372870696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757784031538593414.post-19061306007845250822010-12-20T07:46:12.056-06:002010-12-20T07:46:12.056-06:00Thanks Brittany, that sounds like a good plan to i...Thanks Brittany, that sounds like a good plan to implement.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525246852660691811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757784031538593414.post-1589313645772819882010-12-19T23:06:13.316-06:002010-12-19T23:06:13.316-06:00I think a skill that most employers appreciate is ...I think a skill that most employers appreciate is the ability to accept constructive criticism, and then change your behaviors accordingly. So, it is entirely possible to change your reputation, so long as you are changing the way you research to be more efficient. <br /><br />Think back on the research you have done, and at what point you stopped being effective and finding new information, and instead were just going in circles or chasing irrelevant trails. Those are the times you need to learn to stop. It will be a learning process, but it will probably show in your work sooner than you think!<br /><br />Good luck!Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515732200660298865noreply@blogger.com
