I am working for a small-midsize law firm who will not hire all of their summer associates. The firm emphasis a need to hire future attorneys that are entrepreneurial/can bring in new clients for the firm. However, they don't expect that you bring in business as a summer associate. So how can I show them, without overstepping, that I have that quality so that I am one of the few clerks that gets a permanent offer? Thanks!

Don't be weird. I can tell you from experience that at least a few in your class will be so weird that they will weed themselves out.

Didn't you ask this exact same question two days ago?

To be honest, the lobster analogy was spot on. Another tip to getting a full-time offer, try not to ask the same question/make the same mistake more than once.
