The Perfect Legal Job Search [Spiral-bound]

J. Murray Elwood (Author)

Book Description

October 10, 2001
Many lawyers looking for a new job find themselves in a Catch-22 situation. They need a job, but do not have the time to do an adequate job search. The Perfect Legal Job Search believes that not all job-search methods are created equal. Some are much more effective than others. This book emphasizes high-yield job search techniques and offers much practical, do-it-yourself information: Scenarios for salary negotiations, templates for ad-answering letters, and scripts for handling interview-scheduling phone calls.

The Perfect Legal Job Search also shows how to prepare for a legal job interview without worrying about 101 tricky questions. It tells how to explain in positive words a “termination” from the last job and how to find a new job when no firms seem to be hiring. It suggests ways to reduce job interviewing unknowns and identify a law firmâ€(tm) s hidden hiring criteria. There is even something here for those people who say, "I don't know what I want to do when I grow up." But most of all, this innovative, career-search handbook will show you how to use the successful introduction of a new product line by Victoria's Secret as a model for marketing yourself into a new legal job or completely new direction.

The Perfect Legal Job Search will fit in your briefcase, reads easily, lies flat for computer table or podium use. Paperback, large-size edition. 106 pages. $21.95 plus postage.
