Do you keep the train on the rails?

The legal sector is far from monolithic. A wide array of skills, talents, and legal professional roles keep our legal system (and the economy and society that depends upon it) running: 

  • FBI, DEA, ATF, Secret Service, and other federal agents moving into the private sector

  • State police, military police, and other law enforcement moving into the private sector

  • Paralegals

  • Executive and legal assistants

  • Legal secretaries

  • Legal and executive recruiters (both retained and contingency)

  • Human resources professionals

  • Law firm IT professionals

  • Data privacy and data security experts

  • FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) responders

  • Law firm marketing professionals

  • Law firm directors and managers

  • Legal industry vendors and sales representatives

  • Social workers

  • Judicial staff

  • Court administrators and other personnel

  • Private and corporate investigators

  • Collections agents

  • Process servers

  • Bond agents

  • Insurance claims representatives and processors

  • Contract managers

  • Compliance experts

Like lawyers, you work in the legal sector. However, the best career advice for lawyers isn’t the same as the best career advice for an FBI agent or a law firm marketer or a legal assistant. The best résumé for an attorney isn’t the same as the best résumé for a police officer or a court reporter or a paralegal.
