this legal recession; the lending crisis has
extended from real estate to banking to
business in general, slowing down litigation
and everything else in its path. No wonder
we’re all depressed!
SO, where exactly do I see the good
news in all this? The glimmer of hope I
keep clinging to is in the approach that a
proactive, motivated job seeker can apply
to the process. From a job search
perspective, that means a throwback to old-
fashioned work ethics and strategies. Old
fashioned adages like “pounding the
pavement” and “never give up” have got to
become part of the vernacular of every job
hunting lawyer. Old fashioned ideals like
“no honest job is beneath you” and “the
harder you work the luckier you get” have
to mean something again. And, at least for
the foreseeable future, I envision successful
job searchers relying less on the internet
and more on the interview, especially the
informational type.
Now I am not saying that modern
technology and its corresponding tools like
social networking and internet listings have
no value, but I am suggesting that hiding
behind a computer screen and responding
to on-line postings and friendship requests
is not enough of an energy expenditure in
this economy. This is the time to hone in on
interpersonal relationships; to create or
recreate bonds that can only come from
real-time, real-people interactions.
If you haven’t made time to keep in touch
Back to The Future:
Rediscovering The Basics Of Job Search
in Tough Economic Times
by Cheryl Rich Heisler, January 2009
Maybe it’s just me.
Maybe there is too much “rah-rah”
optimism in my personality for my own
good, but I think I see a silver lining
peeking out of this intensely dark economic
cloud currently hanging over us.
Let me set the record straight. While I am
typically an optimist, I am not naive. Nor
have I been hiding under a rock. I read the
same blogs and tune in to the same media
that we all do, but I am convinced that
underlying all the chatter is a burning
desire to return to what works. That means
a return to spending less and saving
more…..to fixing things up instead of
throwing them out….to bringing our
personal values into clearer focus.
As with our personal lives, we must also
get back to basics in our professional lives
in order to turn things around. Everything
I’ve read about people who survived the
psychological mind set of the Great
Depression highlights their ability to
embrace hard work and commit to making
it through intact. Now I realize how tough
this sounds, especially to those of you out
there looking for work, but part of why
times seem so rough is that the legal field
has had a pretty good run over the last two
decades. Some of you have never even
faced an economic slowdown, much less a
complete meltdown like the one we are
currently experiencing. Making times even
harder is the across-the-board nature of
2

your daily routine as eating, drinking and
sleeping. It is these skills, these talents,
that can be your ticket to job (or even
career) transition.
What does all this have to do with good
old fashioned hard work? Everything. The
tighter the market, the more likely it is that
whatever jobs exist will be going to those
job hunters who are really hungry for them
and who demonstrate that hunger by
aggressively pursuing all leads. If you send
a resume then never follow up with a call,
forget about it. If you see an interesting ad
and you don’t even try to make contact with
someone who knows someone at that
organization, you are busted! If there is a
great job at another company, in another
state, and you don’t automatically start to
wonder who in your city might offer parallel
positions, you are not fully using your
cognitive powers.
Clearly nobody wished for a job market
like the one we now have but, since it’s
here, our only real choice is to meet the
challenge head-on. If we are to learn
anything from history and those who got
through hard times before us, now is the
time to put our “noses to the grindstone”
and “make our own breaks.” While the
optimist in me believes that the legal work
world will return to some form of normalcy
in the not-too-distant future, when the going
gets tough for future generations of lawyers
(as it inevitably will) perhaps they will look
back at us and thank us for re-teaching
them the value of conducting a job search
the old-fashioned way.

with other professionals, start again ASAP.
(Re)join your local Bar Associations. Take
an old friend out to lunch. Show up at a
neighborhood block party and actually talk
to the neighbors. Introduce yourself to the
person next to you on the plane or train or
in the bleachers at your kids’ basketball
game. Volunteer your time at a local
charitable organization. Take on project or
part-time work to keep your skills sharp
and your name in front of people. Buy into
the statistics that prove the best odds of
finding a job derive from your own efforts
at cultivating interpersonal connections.
Once you inject this kind of single-
minded focus on hard work and self-
reliance into your job prospecting, you are
bound to increase your chances of
success. And here’s a bonus: not only will
the networking make you feel good about
your job search efforts, it will make you
feel good about yourself. The more effort
you put into preparing for and meeting with
others, and the more you learn about what
is “out there” job-wise, the more
determined you will become about
garnering one of those spots for yourself.
Although you may feel a bit beaten down
right now, remember that, as lawyers, we
have historically comprised some of the
best and brightest minds in our
communities. No matter where you studied
or in what area of practice you specialized,
you have thinking, analyzing, issue-
spotting and organizing skills “par
excellence.” Lawyers are communicators
at their core: writing, speaking, persuading
and negotiating are all part and parcel of
your transferable skills package. Advising,
counseling and instructing are as much of

How to Help a
Staffing Firm Help You
variety of legal positions but will still benefit
from detailed explanations of your
responsibilities, achievements and unique
qualifications.
In describing your credentials, call the
recruiter’s attention to specific job titles and
special skills or responsibilities that should
be included in your database profile. By
helping the recruiter identify descriptive key
words that best represent your
qualifications, you’ll increase the odds of
your profile popping up when there’s a
compatible job posting in the firm’s
computer system.
Be honest. Before they can feel
comfortable making an introduction to
employers, recruiters must be confident
that a candidate is being completely
candid about all aspects of his or her
career history, especially matters such as
the reasons behind a resignation. By
being completely upfront about your work
history – even if it means revealing
potentially negative information – you’ll
enhance your credibility and earn a
recruiter’s trust.
The resume is the first step in building
trust with the recruiter. All dates should be
accurate, and employment gaps should be
disclosed. In addition, be frank when it
comes to discussing your current salary
and career motivations. Contrary to what
some job seekers believe, you won’t
pigeonhole yourself by revealing your
current salary; rather, you’ll help the
recruiter determine a minimum threshold
By the Career Experts at Robert Half Legal
Working with a staffing firm that
specializes in your industry is an excellent
way to uncover potential job opportunities
and, ultimately, land a new position. Many
job seekers remain uncertain, though,
about how best to interact with a recruiter
to get the most out of the relationship.
If you’ve ever felt uneasy about what to
expect when contacting a staffing firm or
what to do if a recruiter calls unexpectedly,
these tips can help:
Interview to impress. Prepare for a first
meeting with a recruiter as you would an
interview with a prospective employer. The
recruiter’s main goal with this meeting is to
decide if you are someone he or she is
willing to introduce to clients, so it’s
essential to make a positive and
memorable impression.
Dress professionally in a suit or
comparable business attire and arrive with
copies of your resume and a notepad.
Greet your interviewer with a smile and firm
handshake, and allow your personality to
come through during the interview.
Recruiters want to feel that they’ve gained
a sense of what you’re like and the work
environments in which you’d be successful.
Assist with packaging. When you first
meet with a recruiter, he or she will seek to
understand the nature of your current and
past professional roles and the type of
opportunity you’re seeking. If you work
with a specialized firm, the recruiter will be
knowledgeable of the requirements for a
Midwest Legal Staffing Guide 2009.qxp:MWLSG 2/2/09 9:28 AM Page 5

Provide referrals. Whether or not you’re
currently working with a staffing firm, you
may be contacted by a recruiter. He or she
may want to gauge your current career
satisfaction, or may be seeking referrals to
other skilled candidates in your network. It’s
always wise to listen to the reason for the
recruiter’s call and to be as helpful as
possible. Recruiters have a long memory for
professionals who are willing to invest in a
relationship over time by sharing information
and referrals. By serving as a resource,
you’ll be in a strong position to enlist the
recruiter’s help if you should need it later on.
Finally, keep in mind that recruiters
appreciate candidates who are pleasant to
interact with and easy to represent. Who
can blame them? By taking note of these
pointers, you’re more likely to be one of the
candidates at the top of the recruiter’s
placement list.

for compensation. Similarly, by explaining
what might motivate you to consider one
opportunity over another, you help to build
a picture for the recruiter of the
environments and situations you’re willing
to consider. If the recruiter doesn’t get a
realistic feel for what you’ll ultimately
accept, valuable time is likely to be wasted.
Heed advice. By working with a staffing
firm, you gain an inside perspective on the
job market. Trust the judgment of recruiters,
and carefully consider their suggestions,
which are typically based on feedback from
hiring managers. Use the information they
supply you with to improve your preparation
for your next interview.
This paid off for one candidate who was
trying to obtain a position as a legal office
manager. The candidate had dropped her
experience as a medical office manager off
her resume because it was in a different
field and in a job she had held some years
ago. She thought it was preferable to focus
on her work in a legal environment, even if
her role was more limited. After acting on
her recruiter’s suggestion to revise her
resume to highlight the office management
experience, she landed the law office
position she sought.
