Attorney Searching.com site faq's |
Just who gets the career data I fill out on the Attorney Searching.com resume form? How
confidentialy handled is this information?
Answer: The data goes to Attorney Searching .com the owner of this
website. We run your data through our main server and see when and
how it matches with our job data base. When it does, you will hear
from us, by phone and discreetly. The need for confidentiality is
appreciated, in part, because Attorney Searching .com is owned and
managed by licensed lawyers.
How does Attorney Searching .com market the site- how do you encourage law firms and companies to
upload their jobs to this mall?
Answer to the first question: tenaciously. Answer to the second: we appeal to their sense
of reason. One site, one location, means the most comprehensive job bank.
Will I hear back from the administrators of this site after I upload my resume?
Answer: You will receive an automated response letting you know your resume was received
from the website. Then, if we perceive a fit, you will hear from us. Otherwise why should
we waste your time? Are we considerate or what?
Why is it important for candidates to upload resume information?
Answer: Because you never know when the right job is going to uploaded by some three
lawyer firm in Mobile, Alabama. The job of your dreams. Who ever imagined you could pick
up 2 million in clientele in Alabama. To tell you the truth we didn't either. But the web
doesn't blink. (It just occasionally crashes.)
Who designed Attorney Searching .com?
Answer: Legal headhunters with scores of years in the trenches. We boiled down the most
important points in a resume to a few basic questions. Grades are not always so important.
Some of the wealthiest lawyers in America were average law students. But grades matter for
associate level jobs in well known firms. There's nothing any web site can do to change
that- so you can kick us if you don't hear back from this site, just don't blame us. Or
blame whoever persuaded you to go to law school.
What if my resume doesn't shine enough for my real interpersonal and legal skills to be
recognized in Attorney Searching .com or by a legal recruiter? Does it mean I'm doomed? How do I
compete with the ivy league people?
Answer: This web site is one distribution channel. There are hundreds, probably thousands
of others. Your family is a distribution channel. So are your friends. So is your friend
who doesn't mind copying down the addresses of every two lawyer firm in Nevada and solo
practitioner in Idaho, so you can send your resume. There are some great lawyers who
couldn't be placed by a recruiter in their early career. One channel of distribution is
just one channel. While one day we would like to be the only channel, I doubt we could
ever compete with significant others licking all those stamps late into the evening.
Why can't I fax my resume to Attorney Searching .com?
Answer: You can. But faxes are becoming an outdated form. First
they kill trees. Second, they cost ink. (By the way, thank you law
firms and companies throughout the world for subsidizing the need
of legal recruiters to make money.) The most costly aspect of the
fax is time cost of administration and handling. The fax recipient
must file the fax and then, FIND it in the fax abyss when the managing
partner wants to see it RIGHT away. All these concerns add up to
real money, especially for a mid to large firm over the course of
a year. By contrast, an email can be saved to a computer file and
quickly retrieved by date, name or type. Unless your computer crashes,
your unlikely to ever lose it. With Windows, you can conduct a text
search under the File Find, Advanced Search tabs. Then finally headhunters
can re-polish a resume much easier from a computer rather than have
to scan it in first.
