For background reading and helpful tips targeted for a job search in the legal industry, I’d recommend Amanda Ellis’s newsletter from September, 2009 (Attorneys Finding Jobs on Twitter). She explains three ways in which attorneys can integrate Twitter into their job search.
Instead, I’d like to use this example – conducting a job search on Twitter – as a way...

Q: If someone subscribes to the newsletter before this Friday, January 29th at 11:59 pm, how does s/he access the members-only section of the site? Sincerely, Inquisitive New Subscriber
A: Dear Inquisitive,
Great question! I’m sure other people want to know this as well. Thank you for asking.
Basically, once someone subscribes to the newsletter, I still need to add them manually to the site’s WordPress database.1
Every night this week, I plan to add the people who signed up that...

I sent this in the “Password Issues Resolved” newsletter but I thought I’d post it here as well. In the future, announcements like this will be categorized under administrative.

I’m glad so many people like the Am Law jobs round-up. I figured I owed you a long-overdue explanation about the column – why I decided to create it and where it is moving. So, stick with me and you’ll find the latest round-up at the end of the post.1
Long, long ago, when I was a job seeker, I longed for a service that compiled all the job postings in one place. Why did I have to visit Martindale, Lawjobs, Monster, Emplawyernet, PSLawNet, Craigslist, Vault, and firm websites...

How do you like RecruiterEsq’s new face?
I’m still working out the kinks to this new design but I’m liking the bright colors and spacious layout.
I thought I’d take a moment to explain a few site of the site changes.
First, I’ve changed the RSS feed to only include posts that I include on the blog. (If you had subscribed to my previous RSS feed, you may want to resubscribe.1)
As for the blog section, this where I’ll post announcements like this one. I’ll...

Recently, I’ve been scoping out law firm websites. From big law firms to solo practitioners, I’ve decided to showcase some of my favorites, with an explanation of what makes them standout.
Click on picture to enlarge
Firm: Townsend.
The short reason: This is not a law firm website. It’s a beautiful website that happens to be for a law firm.
Discussion: Black and white with a touch of gray and a flair of color, Townsend’s website is straightforward, intelligent, and user-friendly. ...
