Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I am an attorney with eight years of professional legal experience. I was laid off from my former firm in 2011 because of lack of work and although I have been doing some consulting, I’m looking for anything I can get. Here’s a copy of my résumé, which my wife says is very bland. I read your column every week and I’m wondering if you have any pointers for me?” — Steve L., Covington, LA

A successful attorney who was currently employed by a local law firm in New Orleans was exploring the possibility of finding a new position at a firm that he had targeted. Discretion was extremely important and we had to proceed without alerting his current employer. We retooled his résumé and kept the contact information confidential, utilizing online research to find the names of the principals and hiring managers at the firm. We also created a compelling cover letter that resulted in an interview and an offer at a significantly higher level of compensation, which he accepted.

The legal profession is actually one of the few areas, along with medical professionals, engineers, scientists, and executives, that still have fairly good representation through local recruiters and headhunters. I can recommend some if you contact me privately. In fact, those recruiters often send their clients to me first to spruce up their résumés. Examples of additional details that could be helpful to your résumé include:
PART TIME Psychiatry Clinic: Support Staff
Dear Steve,
I have created many job-winning résumés for attorneys, including those who are staying in the legal profession, as well as those exploring opportunities in the business world. I think your wife is correct, your résumé is very bland. It contains very brief descriptions of your associate positions at several area law firms, and you actually don’t provide the type of detail that a prospective employer would need in Grant Cooper order to justify extending an interview. Also, Steve, I see in your résumé that you received your Juris Doctor degree from Loyola School of Law, but there is no mention of your GPA, your graduation rank in the class, any activities you may have participated in, or any continuing legal education you have completed since graduating. If these items are favorable, they could help to spice up your résumé. For example, if you graduated in the top 25% of your class, if you participated in extracurricular activities, or if you excelled in Moot Court.
Needed immediately for upcoming roles. $150-$300 day depending on job requirements. No experience, all looks. 1-800-560-8672, for casting times/locations.
