Guide to Legal Jobs
Find jobs in law to suit every career level
Everybody needs a lawyer at some point or another, so jobs in law are available anywhere you want to be.
Whether you are looking for attorney jobs or legal assistant jobs, the important thing is to consider the area of law that you want to work in. There are so many different fields of law that some people have a hard time choosing. Carefully consider your options in order to pick a field that will continue to hold your interest.
In order to get the best jobs in legal field:
1. Have the proper qualifications. A lawyer job requires you to have a degree in law and to pass the State Bar exam. Each state has a different exam and if you plan to move to a different state, you must pass that state's exam.
2. Stay up to date on legal news by subscribing to magazines and joining professional organizations. Even someone with a paralegal job should stay current.
3. Be prepared to work long hours. Many law jobs are stressful and will require you to work overtime. If you want to get ahead, this is a necessity.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Search for paralegal jobs through online resources
You do need to have specialized training for legal secretary jobs, but once you have that training, you will be able to gain lucrative employment. Search for jobs in your area with online job boards that focus on paralegal jobs.
I recommend:
ParalegalJobs.com offers several services, including a paralegal job search engine and resume posting capabilities. EmploymentSpot also lists paralegal jobs.
Find in-house positions if you are interested in business law jobs
Many large companies prefer to hire in-house legal counsel so that they have a lawyer that works solely for them. This is a great way to put your business law knowledge to good use.
I recommend:
The InHouseBlog lists many in-house job opportunities in addition to giving advice for in-house lawyers. You can also find positions through the Association of Corporate Counsel.
Use a legal recruiter to find jobs in law
A professional recruiter can save you time when looking for legal jobs. They carefully screen both candidates and employers to be sure that they make a good match. This is great news for busy professionals.
I recommend:
Mestel & Company are attorney placement consultants who care not just about finding your next job, but in finding the next job that is best for your career. HG.org offers links to attorney placement services in every state, making it easy to find the legal recruiter that's right for you.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Many lawyers choose to work for themselves instead of getting legal jobs. If you can build up your own client base, you may be able to make more money this way.
