Considering changing positions within the legal profession?

          If you find yourself considering a change within the legal profession, you may be facing a multitude of preparatory decisions. Does your resume adequately capture your accomplishments and skills? Should you contact recruiters? How do you approach small firms, nonprofits, or government agencies? What exactly is it that you want to do, anyway? What are your professional strengths and weaknesses, and how can you exploit the former and minimize the latter? What professional atmosphere will allow you to flourish?

          As you move into applying for a new position and interviewing, you may want to brush up on your interview skills, to have a partner in brainstorming a creative approach to a challenge, or to role play a pre-employment negotiation. Once you make the shift, additional strategic planning will help you get off to a strong start in your new position.

          Having worked for a sole practitioner, a mid-sized boutique, and a mega-firm, I have experience in negotiating each step on the career transition path. I would be delighted to talk with you about your needs, the value that my skills and experience can bring to your employment search, and the power of blending that career consultation with coaching.
