Are you an attorney, looking for a new job?
In a three-part article on AttorneyJobs.com titled “Informational Interviewing,” Donna Gerson writes that informational interviews enable attorneys seeking jobs to get a better understanding of jobs both within a firm or in an organization that presents a more nontraditional career path in the law.
Among other things, Gerson says informational interviews can help attorneys:
-Get information about what opportunities may arise in a given practice area or organization
-Learn about jobs and legal career paths you did not know existed
-Practice promoting your skills and accomplishments in a non-pressured environment
You can find Gerson’s three part article on the Career Resources tab at AttorneyJobs.com, part of Thomson Reuters.
That tab is among the new tools and resources just launched by AttorneyJobs, to provide additional assistance to lawyers across the United States who are looking for work. The content on the Career Resources page includes career development articles authored by leading career consulting firms and covers topics such as networking, interviewing skills, business etiquette and alternative legal careers. The page also has legal career advice and counseling, the Bar Guide – a continuously updated directory of state bar requirements and related information – resume and interview centers, and graduate law degree information.
AttorneyJobs.com also now offers a preview of job search results for all visitors. Attorneys and JDs can now preview the job title, practice area, city and state, and employer type (corporation, public interest/advocacy, college/university, government) without having to purchase a subscription to AttorneyJobs.com services.
And, the site now links directly to West LegalEdcenter online continuing legal education webcasts, covering subjects from the substance of law and legal skills, business skills, business management and more.
AttorneyJobs content also is accessible through Twitter and LinkedIn.
