Many law school graduates feel that unless they have relatives with already established law firms or a lot of money to start their own, they will be stuck unemployed.

You have identified the names of people you would like to contact, carefully composed a letter, and followed up with a phone call scheduling a time for your meeting. After that preparation, the meeting itself is nothing more than a friendly conversation asking for advice, but the flow of this conversation should not be left to chance. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70085/The-Art-Of-Networking-A-Guide-To-A-Networking-Meeting la2 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT WHEN YOU START THINKING ABOUT A CAREER move, you may choose to begin by looking on Internet job boards and in the classifieds-either those in the legal newspapers or those on the Internet (such as LawCrossing.com or Monster.com)- and answer the job opportunities that seem interesting and attractive, even if you are not completely sure of your direction.

New product introductions aren't always successful; sometimes they can be colossal flops. For one reason or another, certain consumer items fail to find a market niche.

He told me that he had been downsized about six months earlier from a senior management position and was on his way to a job interview. My seatmate said that he had made the final cut in several previous interviews, but had never been offered a job and hoped that this interview would result in an offer. When I asked him what kind of a salary he was seeking, the man reached into his briefcase and pulled out a carefully typed sheet that he said he always showed a potential employer at the beginning of the interview. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70088/Be-an-Effective-Negotiator-How-to-Get-the-Salary-You-Want la5 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT YOU MAY DECIDE THAT NETWORKING is the best option in your job search.

In fact, it can be highly effective if done right. The key to making it so is to understand the difference between just any mass mailing and a carefully planned, targeted mailing. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70090/Going-Directly-To-The-Source-Targeted-Mailing la7 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, lawyer and legal consultant Brian Howard was asked to address a group of Washington attorneys on a very sensitive subject: the quality of life in law firms. Howard spoke for about half an hour, concluding his presentation with a quotation from T.S. Eliot's poignant reflection on human relationships, ''The Cocktail Party.'' He then opened the floor to questions, expecting the audience to challenge his views. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70091/What-s-Your-Story-How-To-Sell-Yourself-During-An-Interview la8 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT
