Tips for getting a job in Indian Country

• Decide whether you want to pursue a job in a private firm's Indian Law practice section, in government, or in-house for a Tribe.
• Be persistant when contacting potential employers. One contact with a potential employer is NOT likely to get you a job.
• If you land an interview, take the time to research the Tribe or firm as well as the person who will be interviewing you. Eliminate as much uncertainty as possible.
• When interviewing for a position in Indian Country, be respectful of differences in culture and ideas.
• Be confident in who you are!
