ATTORNEYS-Running From the Law? Career Alternatives for Lawyers

If you are RUNNING FROM THE LAW because you no longer enjoy practicing, or if you like being a lawyer but are simply seeking a better job in the field, call us -- we may be able to help you develop your career.  

 

Career Strategies International helps attorneys find new jobs in law or business. Since 1992 we have helped several thousand lawyers find rewarding new positions. We offer:

-- Resume Writing and Resume Distribution through our Lawyer-Resumes.com service

-- Career Options Assessment & Testing

-- Career Development and Job Search Mentoring   

-- Law Firm & Corporate services, including Attorney and Paralegal Recruiting and Outplacement.

 

RESUME WRITING:

Every job search needs a resume … and not just a list of past employers and titles. A truly compelling resume and cover letter package is needed to support any job search.



Our Lawyer-Resumes.com group has unparalleled expertise in writing legal resumes, and in converting legal resumes into corporate marketing documents; in both cases we craft resumes that produce interviews.

 

RESUME  DISTRIBUTION:

We can utilize our databases to distribute resumes to appropriate corporations, law firms, venture capital firms, non-profits and even to other recruiters. We can identify appropriate decision-makers and have your resume delivered directly to them, saving you dozens and dozens of hours of research and typing. 

 

CAREER OPTIONS ASSESSMENT:

If you are interested in finding out what else you can do with the skills and experience you have, Career Strategies offers a complete array of assessment packages that can provide answers in just a few weeks or so.

 

We have helped countless attorneys identify their realistic career options and in many cases, have also worked with them on all phases of a job search. Whether you live locally or anywhere else in the country, our experts are now available to provide job search advice and techniques, as well as career options testing and assessment, resume development and other valuable resources via telephone and internet on an hourly basis.

LAW FIRM CANDIDATES

If you are looking for a law firm job, our recruiting function may be able to help you. Most of our opportunities are for 3rd-6th year associates from top 15 schools and top firms, or partners with significant portable business. We sometimes have opportunities for attorneys with other backgrounds as well. In addition, we have access to listings of law firm openings in New York City. If you are interested in a law firm position, please send us your resume, cover letter and salary requirements by email to:

LAW FIRM AND CORPORATE SERVICES:

If you are an employer and are looking to add to your legal, management or support staff, we can assist by locating, screening and recommending qualified candidates for your consideration. We have access to talented individuals who are not active on the marketplace, but who are willing to consider exciting opportunities. Our emphasis is on attorneys and paralegals, but we also deal with high level executives and professionals.

 

On the flip side, if you are making a reduction in staff, our outplacement counselors can help by assisting in the termination process, and by providing personalized attention, guidance and resources to the outplaced person or groups of people.
