By Christine Gately

Question:

I am a third year litigation associate with a strong academic record, and a solid work history at an American Law top 200 law firm.

Sometimes a Lateral Law Firm Move is the Best Path to a Solid In-House Position

By Robyn Ginsberg, Esq.

A large percentage of the people who contact us for recruitment assistance are currently working in-house and are looking to return to the law firm sector or break into it for the first time. What most of these candidates don’t realize is that it is generally much more difficult to transition from an in-house position to a law firm position than it is to lateral from one law firm to another.

Recruiting a Recruiter

By Katy Anderman,
Recruiter, BCG Attorney Search

As you grow in your career it's important to grow your network with you. A legal recruiter can open many doors for you by providing you with information on open positions. The best legal recruiters can offer more than job opportunities. We can react to what you're doing and provide well-informed advice that may be hard to find anywhere else. We can be your biggest advocate, your career cheerleader, even your life coach. But take note – a relationship with a recruiter is a two way street. In order for a recruiter to want to invest time in your career and think of you when a fantastic opportunity arises, you must have something to offer in return. Follow these steps to successfully establish a strong relationship with the right legal recruiter.

Tips for Effectively Utilizing Internal Contacts During Your Job Search

By Robyn Ginsberg, Managing Director

I decided to write this article after being asked by candidates, on a number of occasions, for my opinion on how to best utilize internal contacts during the law firm application process. This is a great question and it comes up often. While much depends on the circumstance, as a general rule of thumb, candidates fare far better when they allow their recruiter to submit their application and then have their contact ''bolster'' the candidate's submission. This is the case for several reasons:

Don't Believe the Hype About ''Exclusive'' Job Openings

By Robyn Ginsberg, Managing Director

Lately, we've been hearing from candidates that they are receiving cold-calls from recruiters claiming to have ''exclusive'' job listings that can only be applied for through that cold-calling recruiter. Of course, this is nothing new, and is indeed a favored strategy of cold-calling recruiters; but, I've recently seen candidates make costly mistakes as a result of such calls, including one instance where a candidate accepted an offer that ultimately is a very poor fit for her credentials and her stated long-term career interests.

Understanding Social Media and Using it to Boost Your Career

By Liz Hudson

In today’s world of modern technology, even our social interactions and presence has crossed over to the digital world. Instead of calling someone to wish them a happy birthday, or even more outlandish, sending them a birthday card via the U.S. Postal Service, we now post a happy birthday message on their Facebook wall. And old colleagues we may have once been too intimidated by to even say hello in the hallway are now approachable as we send them a “connect” request through LinkedIn. As Drew Barrymore’s character in “He’s Just Not That Into You” lamented, there are so many social media outlets available now that just keeping up with your different accounts is nearly impossible! As you begin your job search, or just aim to keep yourself on an upward trajectory with your current employer, there are some rules of the game to play by with regard to your social media accounts.
