One big misconception that attorneys, law students, and others have about the legal job market is that they know how to find the jobs that are out there—or that they already have all the information about the legal jobs out there.

This belief is 100%, not the case.

In this course, you will learn:

• How to find "hidden" openings in your legal job search.
• How to get hired by a law firm with no openings.
• How to use networking, mass targeted mailing, and other techniques to find a legal job.

›The most common method of getting a position is through networking. ›You are better off using networking to get defined positions than just applying on your own. ›You can also find positions in the emerging marketplace through networking.

›If you are not networking to find a position, you are making a huge mistake.

In this course, you will learn:

• How to become motivated to meet people and find new people to meet. 

• Why you need to learn the skills to network.

• Examples of how networking can change your career and life.

In many, many cases, others will try and control your access to opportunities and the market. When you are looking for positions and trying to find out what is going on in the market, it is imperative not to be limited by appearances. What appears to be there is almost always only a tiny slice of what is available in the market.

In this course, you will learn:

• How job sites control the flow of information to you.
• What role Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn play in the distribution of information.
• How to find information that you need.

Many young job-seekers make the mistake of saying a lot about themselves in cover letters, resumes, and interviews. A cover letter serves an entirely different purpose than bragging and talking about yourself.
What a cover letter needs to do is make a connection with your audience and show you are interested in them.

Your ability to make this connection and the strength of this connection will determine how well you do.

In this course, you will learn:

• Why your cover letter needs to show you can be managed.
• What not to mention in your cover letter.
• How to show in your cover letter that you are qualified for the job.

I’ve gotten jobs for thousands of attorneys by fixing their resumes. There are specific patterns in people who get the most interviews and jobs, and those that do not. If you want to get a position, you can listen to my advice, or ignore it at your own peril.

In this course, you will learn:

• Why your legal resume should be kept to one page.
• Why your legal resume should use tight, direct language.
• How to give the "scent" that you are a good fit for the work you are seeking.

Once someone invites you for an interview, they do not care about your resume. They care about five different issues entirely—and the better you understand these, the better off you will be.

In this course, you will learn:

• What are the 5 things legal employers want to know about you.
• How to to genuinely connect with the person interviewing you.
• Should you talk about your personal life on the interview.

With one question, a good employer can quickly and efficiently eliminate those who might otherwise be a perfect fit for a position—and they should. Anyone who knows what they are doing should not be hiring you if you do not have concrete reasons for working.

In this course, you will learn:

• What question helps the employer understand that you are right for the job.
• Why is it important to learn about the employer before the interview.
• Why do you need to set a goal.

Relationships offer several insights into ourselves and how we are likely also to handle our careers. Few things are as powerful, formative, and essential to our long term development as our relationships and careers. Understanding the mistakes you are likely to make in both can be extremely helpful for your long-term happiness and success.

In this course, you will learn:

• People who have a history of bad relationships are usually guilty of not committing to an employer.
• The fact that you have a history is not always a reason to remain with an employer or person. 
• Resumes of attorneys who look like they are doing and trying to do a lot of things do not get the attention of most employers.

You will do better when you stop prioritizing how things make you look and feel. Too many people base their lives and careers on others' opinions, withdraw when they do not get the feedback they want, or keep pushing to get more and more approval to their ultimate detriment.

In this course, you will learn:

• Why the more successful attorneys become, the better they are at bending their will, not being vulnerable, and not sharing their feelings with other attorneys.
• Why is it damaging to use your ego to build yourself up and power through life trying to reach something.
