I think something that a lot of new attorneys who go out on their own or join a small firm forget is that half the battle is getting people to know who you are and why they should use you instead of someone else in this saturated marketplace. If a person can do a good job selling something like a pencil then they 'should' be able to do a good job on selling their services and firm to a potential client, other attorneys, and members of the community. Great question! Damon Duncan Duncan Law, PLLC Lee –

Then that changed when all the young people stopped wearing watches and I figured it didn't reveal much. However, I'm starting to think that it matters more than I thought and that people that wear watches actually know what time it is and show up where they need to be, on time. Do you think it could reveal anything today? Lee Teresa,

I've concluded, sadly, that I'm not especially good at this process and that's after taking a bunch of courses and reading a bunch of books on the topic. Overall, I suppose I determine if I like the person and whether they can articulate reasonably intelligent responses. Lee Kevin,

Original and fun. I get the newspaper/vote questions, and why having that information would reveal something important, at least to me, about the candidate, but curious about the watch question. So many folks now use their smart phones, digital office phone on desk, etc. to check the time. Share your thoughts on why that question is asked/what the answer reveals, in your opinion.
