How true her words, and yours, ring. I remember when I worked at legal aid interviewing candidates for jobs in our office who wanted to come from the for-profit sector. They figured they could roll on in. The interviews made it very clear how unprepared many were for the kind of work we were doing. While I think that there are many for-profit folks who can successfully transition, and vice versa, there are true challenges. For myself, making the transition to some for-profit environments, the cultural shift was quite intense for me -- I was not used to the hierarchical structure that seemd more entrenched in the for-profit sector. <BR/>-Lee ScholderSleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371934345473666446noreply@blogger.com
