Patel|Gaines – San Antonio, TX

I got my job by applying through CORE and being selected for an interview. About a week after my interview, I was emailed with a job offer that I immediately accepted.

What do/did you like most about the job?

One of my favorite things about being a law clerk at Patel|Gaines is the constant opportunity for growth. I am constantly receiving valuable feedback and advice that I know will be useful throughout my career.

How do you think this experience has helped you in your career path?

I have always wanted to work somewhere in the business law realm. Prior to working at Patel|Gaines, I wasn’t aware of how many different areas of law were within business law. What I appreciate most about this experience is the opportunity to learn about various avenues of business law. It has helped me narrow my focus on what I want to practice.

What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned at this job?

The most valuable thing I have learned is not to take criticism personally. In the legal field, you are constantly learning by trial and error. Therefore, it is very important to be able to learn from your mistakes and understand that the people around you are only trying to help you grow as a professional.
