Legal Authority Works!

by A. Harrison Barnes on October 28, 2009

If you’re trying to find the perfect legal job, there’s probably something you don’t know. Before you start searching, you need to enlist the best legal job search tool in the world: Legal Authority.

Competitive law students and lawyers who have been successful in their job searches would never be willing to share this important secret with you; but I’ve made it my business to help attorneys get jobs, so I want you to have this key piece of information: More than 85% of all open legal positions are not published anywhere.

They’re not listed on job boards or in classified ads. You won’t read about them in attorney magazines, and you probably won’t even hear about them from a recruiter. Law firms and other organizations around the country are waiting to hear from you, and you don’t know who they are, where they’re located, or what kind of attorneys they need.

Legal Authority has developed a three-part method to help lawyers just like you get their ideal jobs quickly. Here’s how it works:

1. We find the perfect employer for you.

Our database contains more than 98% of all legal employers in the United States — altogether, more than half a million legal employers. We employ hundreds of researchers who work to identify legal employers and hiring contacts and then classify this information based on organization type, size, and geographic location. Developed at a cost of several million dollars, our database has a large scale and a degree of accuracy that is unmatched by the data available through law schools or other job-search companies.

2. We create the perfect legal resume for you.

Once we’ve identified your ideal types of positions and employers, we will assist you in crafting a flawless resume and cover letter that will show potential employers you’re the perfect fit for their organization. We employ dozens of skilled resume writers who will work with you personally to create for a resume that makes you stand out. A good resume is the critical starting point in your job search, and we design more successful legal resumes than any other company in the world.

3. We give you all the resources you need to apply to every position that fits.

Finally, once you’re fully satisfied with your new resume and cover letter, we will mail you as many copies as you need. You will receive your complete, printed, and customized application materials to forward to the employers you select. All you will need to do is sign your cover letters and stamp your envelopes.

If you used any other resource, you’d still be ruling out hundreds of job opportunities simply because you’d be starting with a limited scope. You’d be wasting your time and your money. When you use Legal Authority, you’ll be applying to every relevant organization; your job search will be as thorough, professional, and focused as possible.

No other method can compare with Legal Authority’s proven effectiveness. Go to LegalAuthority.com today to learn more about how to improve your job search and finally get the results you deserve.

What Is Legal Authority?

by A. Harrison Barnes on October 24, 2009

Legal Authority helps attorneys and law students manage their career moves more effectively and successfully. We are not a recruiting firm retained by a law firm or company to screen candidates for positions. Legal Authority is working on your behalf, helping you contact employers that meet your needs. By making more quality contacts, you can produce more phone calls, interviews, and job offers than you can by reaching employers through a recruiter and risking a price tag of 25%-50% of your salary affecting your chances negatively. This is accomplished through the design of high impact resumes and their targeted distribution in the marketplace.

Free Resume Critique and Marketability Assessment

If you would like to increase the impact of your resume and increase the effectiveness of your overall career marketing, let our Attorney Employment Advocates answer your questions about your career goals. We will also explain how Legal Authority’s services will be able to assist you in your search. You can call us at 1-800-283-3860 or wait for us to contact you to schedule your free critique. DELAY IS EXPENSIVE. Each month you remain under-employed or unemployed can cost you thousands of dollars. In addition, under-marketing yourself is the single most expensive thing you will do in your life. Put our resources to work for you. Just by registering, you have made a giant step in that direction. We look forward to helping you meet your career objectives.

Your Job Search

by scott on October 8, 2009

The old cliché, ‘timing is everything’ is a phrase which relates to many of life’s situations. In an attorney’s job search, this statement cannot be overemphasized enough. Often times, I hear many misconceptions such as firms do not usually hire around this time of the year or the economy is just in too bad of shape. This is a big mistake. First and foremost, a successful job search requires that you be pro-active each and every day until you have found that ideal position. Those weeks and months you are unemployed, you are potentially losing thousands of dollars in income and this, of course, can be a strain on you and your family.

Within the infrastructure of a firm or corporation, positions are often created to fill the overwhelming amount of work that filters into the legal department. This is why it is imperative to expand your job search in each and every avenue possible. Reaching out to the largest pool of potential employers will allow you to realize all of the opportunities that do exist in the present market. There is no undesirable time to send a resume and remember timing is everything!
