Legal Authority

By Barbara Llanos

One of the many perks of working for Legal Authority is that we get to keep in contact with some of our clients as they go through the job hunting process. And it is fantastic when we hear that they have found jobs as a result of using our services!

Legal Authority clients often do not realize that those of us who work here care deeply about what they are going through. Whether we are doing our best to create perfect resumes and cover letters, keeping our database of contacts as up-to-date and accurate as possible, or cheering for them on the unseen sidelines when they go in for interviews, our whole team is experiencing the search process with them.

Occasionally, some of us are even fortunate enough to forge strong and lasting friendships with people who use Legal Authority. Because the job search process is such a personal one, when we communicate by phone or email, we can end up getting to know a lot about our clients. Sometimes we talk about why someone is relocating and looking for a job in a new city. Sometimes we find out that clients have just learned that they have passed the bar exam, and we share in that joy with them. And sometimes clients tell us that, unfortunately, the jobs that they had really hoped for did not come through for them.

No matter what your circumstances are, we at Legal Authority are here to help. Give us a call if you want to update your resume, locate some new contacts, or speak with one of our employment advocates about interviewing or general career advice.

We are all here to help!
