In Reply To: Could anyone tell me if there are headhunters out there to help attorneys who just came out of law school? I found a lot of headhunters on line but they seem to be interested only in experienced lawyers. Also, are there headhunters specialized in international people, for international placement? Any thoughts? I appreciate your help!!
Message: Headunters do not generally deal with entry-level candidates in any profession or sector - there's no $$ in it for them. Legal firms recruit newbies from on-campus recruitment efforts where they get them free (well, relatively free). Monster.com has over 1,000 legal jobs posted right now. I looked at a couple of them and they all called for experience, 6 months was the least exp. I saw. Do you want a legal firm or corporate environment? What area of the law are you interested in? Have you passed the bar?
