My clients ask me to "just send me a copy of the resume"

Posted on February 1, 2013 at 1:30pm 3 Comments

Ok my specialty in legal is Intellectual Property.  When one of my former candidates called me she said my brother could really use your help, I thought yea if he is as good as his sister slam dunk.  

Well his specialty is construction litigation.  I did that when I first got into the legal industry.  I did not want to disappoint his sister and he has a good background I decided to take him on.  

Here is my problem I am doing my blind presentation and I am getting feedback but…

My new dilemma of the day for 2013

Posted on January 15, 2013 at 12:04pm 1 Comment

Ok I have not posted anything for quite some time.  Here is my dilemma of the day.  I recruited a very sharp Technical Specialist with not only a Bachlors Degree in EE but a PhD as well.  He told me the reason he is looking is the fact that his firm does not really support their TS going into to law school.  I am going to be honest here.  I did a presentation to one of the law firms that I work with and when the Partner ask me why he was leaving I gave him the reason but sort of glossed over…

I am kind of surprised....

Maybe my request for the assistance of a corporate recruiter was the wrong one.  I know that posting my blog on May 24th in the afternoon was going to be a little slow in responses due to the holiday weekend coming up and so I had hopes of hearing something from someone at the first of the week.  What do you know here it is mid week and no one has stepped up to the plate.  Maybe I posted this in the wrong place and if I have, if someone could point me in the right direction I would…

Hi Theresa,

 

Sure, I'd be happy to chat.  I see that you are in Texas.  I am up in Boston, but we work up and down the east coast.  Feel free to give me a call at any time at 877-499-2448.

 

Thanks,

Adam
