Get Noticed While You Job Search
Tiffany Farber is a solo practitioner who has been practicing law since 2008. As someone who has been through transition in her career, she understands the challenges lawyers in this situation face.
If I tell you that job searching in the legal community is a full-time task, you will likely say, “Tell me something I don’t know!” So, I’m not going to tell you that. Instead, I’m going to ask you, when was the last time you assessed your methodologies when it comes to job searching? As an attorney, I understand the frustrations that the current legal market brings. Law firms aren’t hiring, non-profit organizations are losing their funding and alternative career options seem daunting. The good news is, if you take positive steps in the right direction, you can overcome some of these obstacles. Here are some steps you can take to get back on track. Step 1: Soul Search. Resist the urge to send your resume to every firm under the sun. Chances are, there are reasons you became an attorney and there are areas you would prefer to practice in. Really hone in on the areas of law that interest and excite you. Tailor your job search to those positions and only seek out those opportunities. Your energy is better spent if you have a goal you are moving towards instead of spreading yourself in every direction. Think about the courses, activities and organizations you were drawn to in law school if you need ideas. Step 2: Devise your elevator speech. If you are not familiar with the concept of an elevator speech, here it is: you should be able to give a description of what you are passionate about, to a stranger in an elevator, in the time it takes the car to get to your floor. Even though this may sound like a bizarre challenge for a reality show, it is more a concept than an actual practice. Once you have a better idea of exactly what you want out of your legal career, get ready to verbalize those ideas. If you can articulate exactly what you are looking for, you will leave an impression on those you meet. Step 3: Close the laptop and hit the pavement.

ATTORNEY
Once you have devised your elevator speech, go out and use it! I can’t tell you how many opportunities open up for attorneys who make connections. There are many ways for you to meet other attorneys including: bar association events; Continuing Legal Education seminars; alumni association events; board memberships and the list goes on. Remember, however, that the goal in networking is to make new friends, it’s not just about walking into a room and thinking, “okay, who here is going to give me a job?” When you make new, valuable connections, doors will open for you. Non-lawyers can be just as helpful as attorneys in the job searching arena. Share your elevator speech with as many people as you can because the more people who know what you are looking for, the more people who can help you. If you are shy, that’s all right, but you should still make connections. Something I recommend for people who don’t like to attend networking functions is to attend conferences. If you like a speaker, go up to her afterwards and ask for her business card. In this situation, you are not among a sea of networking strangers, rather, you know exactly who the person you’re trying to connect with is. Step 4: Follow-up. When someone gives you a business card, have a follow-up plan. I always make sure to track my connections. When I meet someone, I enter his or her contact info into my address book right when I get home, I write down where and when we met and I write down something interesting I learned about that person. Always follow-up soon after you meet someone, when you are fresh in his or her mind. Shoot the person an e-mail or give them a ring and tell them it was nice to meet them. If you come across an article or news story you think one of your contacts would find interesting, share it with them. Always be communicating and always keep people up to speed on your own job search. Step 5: Be well-rounded. Make sure that your life isn’t just about job searching. There are tons of meet-up organizations, classes and volunteer opportunities for job seeking attorneys. If you balance your life, the time you spend job searching will be much more productive. Remember, life isn’t just about work! http://attorneysintransition.com [blog on the Internet]. Chicago: Law Bulletin Publishing Company 2011 February 23 - [cited 2011 February 28].

4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY

Illinois Paralegal Association
SNOW DAY! By: Caren Mansfield, a member of the Illinois Paralegal Association Wow, the news today said that for the fourth year in a row and not since records began more than a hundred years ago, Chicago has received more than 50 inches of snow. Downstate we are just not quite so lucky. Still we have received our share of weather this winter including a tornado, thunder snow and freezing rain. With the advent of the snow comes SNOW DAYS! I am just like the kids in school. I love snow days. When you live in the country like I do even a little bit of snow on a windy day can keep you off the roads. So even though I love my paralegal assignments, a snow day is a day to decompress. A snow day is “a whatever I want to do day”. A snow day is also a guilt free day. Really. Advisories tell everyone to stay off the road and be safe. If you live in the city, those sidewalks won’t be cleared and you can risk falling and hurting yourself. So having just had a snow day (without power) from the Blizzard of 2011, I want you to consider what to do when you have a snow day. Here’s my list for snow days: 1. Take a nap. Sure, you just got up in case you had to go to work, now you don’t have to go so, take a nap; 2. Read a book. You are not going any place. Pick a book and read for a while; 3. Go outside. It’s really nice to go outside and enjoy the snow when you don’t have to do anything else. You can shovel the sidewalk if you want but don’t overdo it. Or, you can be really community minded and shovel someone else’s sidewalk. Remember, the goal of a snow day is to have fun; 4. When you come in from making the snowman, having a snowball fight or making snow angels, it’s time for hot chocolate. 5. Watch something you would not ordinarily watch on TV. Or, more important, don’t watch any TV. Start a project. 6. Start a fire (in the fireplace if you have one). If you don’t have a fireplace, don’t start a fire! 7. If completing tasks makes you happy, balance your checkbook, do the laundry, run the vacuum cleaner, you get the picture. 8. If you have kids, just talk to them. We get so busy sometimes we forget to just talk. Drag out the Monopoly game or Uno. You know, pretend like it is the olden days (prior to all the technology). 9. If you have a dog or cat, spend time with the creature. Nothing is better to de-stress from our everyday lives than the unconditional love from pets. 10. Dance. Turn on one of the Michael Jackson specials, hit CMT, pick up one of the satellite music channels or pick up your iPod. Get the kids to join in. Dance around the house. It really is good for you. You can’t help but smile and thank goodness no one really is watching. 11. Take a nap. Nothing better on a snow day after all the activity is to get in another nap. You will be refreshed for tomorrow when you return to work. Okay, so take my list a little tongue in cheek. I hope you get the idea I am after. Snow days can be wonderful, beautiful ways to relax without that feeling of guilt. If necessary, yes you can work for home but don’t miss the beauty of the day. Please remember that all of the above is the opinion of the author and does not necessarily reflect the views of the IPA. For something more related to the paralegal profession check back next week.
