New Resource for Job Seekers: The Lawyer's Guide to Finding Success in Any Job Market
Legal career author Richard Hermann, founder of Federal Reports and co-founder of AttorneyJobs.com, is the author of this new manual now available from the NALP Bookstore on surviving and thriving in the legal profession even during an economic downturn. Distilling the advice and information he offers his career transition counseling clients, including tips on job hunting, resume building, and interviewing, Hermann addresses which practice areas will be going strong no matter how the economy fares; what kind of education and expertise one will need to impress future employers; whom to talk to about breaking into a new field; how to develop a business plan for a solo practice; what opportunities exist for law graduates outside of legal practice; and whether the number of positions in these fields will hold steady or even grow. The Lawyer's Guide to Finding Success in Any Job Market is available at a cost of $15 each (plus shipping and handling) from the NALP Bookstore at www.nalp.org .
