The Biggest Career Secret You are Ever Going to Learn ..
Hello,
I think this is going to be among the most important pieces of writing you are ever going to read. In fact, if you are like other people I have told what I am about to tell you, I think your life and legal career is about to change ... forever.
For the better.
I used to detest looking for a legal job. The reason was that I was hoping for a warm and fuzzy reception. For example, I would send out several resumes and sit back with some sort of hazy dream that the employers I was applying for would all respond to my application, bring me in and say "you're perfect!" and offer me the job. This is not how it went (almost all of the time). This did not make me too happy.
Sign up now!I know lots of other people who share this frustration in looking for a legal job as well. It is depressing and it is a complete let down. Let me ask you, what do you think is going on when an employer is not responding to your application, or not bringing you back after multiple interviews ...
I know exactly what is happening: Competition
Sign up now!More often than not if an employer is choosing between you and 5 or 10 other people they interviewed the other guy is going to get the offer. (No offense, you're great it is just the way the odds work out ...).
Sign up now!Where are these legal jobs? They are ripe for the taking in all sorts of out-of-the-way places that no one thinks about:
In fact, there are more legal jobs on these places than there are on most major career boards combined. No one knows about these legal jobs because the places where they are posted are not publicized. Very few people go to a small regional newspaper looking for a legal job, for example. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of employers with career pages on their own websites with jobs.
The advantage of going to these places for legal jobs is that no one else is. People are looking for legal jobs on places like Monster, CareerBuilder and other big sites and flooding the employers with legal jobs there with applications. When an employer puts a legal job on its own website it can sit there for years like a goat relaxing in a big field chewing some grass. Nothing happens and the employer sits by twiddling their thumbs for weeks or months waiting for someone to apply to the job.
Sign up now!This is a big deal. What is means is that we are finding you legal jobs a lot of people are not applying to. This is something that can give you a massive and profound advantage.
Do you think your odds of getting a legal job are better if there are one or two people competing with you for a position and the position has been open a long time or if the position has been open a short time and received hundreds of applications?
When an employer posts a resume on Monster or another giant site they are typically inundated with applications within minutes. This is why you see sites like Monster and others advertising everywhere ... they work for employers and their job is to generate as many possible applications for an employer as they can.
When an employer posts a job on their own site, a small regional site, an association site, etc., they receive few applications. Like most of us do, they take the best they can get. It is just about being in the right place at the right time.
Sign up now!LawCrossing works in good economies and it works in bad economies. When you use LawCrossing you are applying to employers that want you and have not received a lot of other applications.
Because LawCrossing is exclusive and is not a public website, the legal jobs on the site are also not seen by anyone except our members. Furthermore, LawCrossing also charges a fee which keeps 99% of the people who would normally compete for the jobs on our site off the site. This results in you being one of the only applicants for these legal jobs.
