The Job Seeker's Paradigm - You Might Hold the Upper Hand Even in This Market

Feb 26, 2010

From our guest blogger, Tom Dezell: Be the Answer to th e Hiring Managers’ Problems by Tom Dezell Today’s labor market is an employer’s market. Companies can select from arguably the largest candidate [paralegal] pool in history. Discouraged job seekers often complain that the disparity in numbers contributes to an atmosphere of employer arrogance. Their advantage of supply over demand has lead to a lack of common courtesy regarding keeping candidates informed, returning calls, etc. While this perception certainly has merit, it’s important for job seekers to realize that the key individual at a company with an opening may not...

"Law firms looking for help"

May 20, 2007

Good news for job-hunting paralegals in this Philadelphia news article which cites a Robert Half Legal survey: "Despite the old joke asking what 1 million lawyers at the bottom of the ocean represent (answer: a good start), a recent national survey found that law firms and corporate legal departments actually need more attorneys. "California-based staffing service Robert Half Legal recently found 94 percent of the 300 U.S. and Canadian lawyers they surveyed said the size of their companies will stay the same or increase in the next 12 months. Almost half plan to hire additional lawyers, paralegals or other professionals.... Read more →

"Make the right hire: use an employment agency"

Apr 08, 2007

Helpful, if somewhat obvious, restatement of advice to law firms from Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly: "We’ve emphasized before that even the smallest practices benefit from hiring the right administrative help to free up attorney time for practicing law and winning new clients. "However, the hiring process in itself is complex and time consuming. That’s why it makes sense for most small and mid-sized law firms to use employment agencies in filling staff positions. "Lawyers consider themselves great judges of character, but the hiring process requires far more specialized resources to be done effectively. Employment agencies have the knowledge and skills at...

"The Real World According to Summer Associates"

Nov 27, 2006

Ah, who doesn't like to work with summer associates? "Law students today are a serious bunch. 'Although I appreciate the fancy lunches, dinners, ball games, retreats, etc., I am more interested in experiencing what life actually will be like as a first-year associate,' reads one typical remark from an intern at Heller Ehrman in Menlo Park, Calif. 'Make sure summer associates have enough work to do -- most of us would rather stay late than spend days bored,' counseled a Cahill Gordon & Reindel summer associate. They may welcome -- and even expect -- the fun and games, but they... Read more →
