I will tell you about something that can change your career and life forever. If you follow my advice, you will be richly rewarded, but if you choose not to listen to what I am about to tell you, then I cannot make any promises about what will happen to you.
You see, no matter who you are and no matter where you live, the chances are you have been making a horrible mistake in terms of how you have been searching for a legal job for most of your life.
I do not know how much damage this has done. You cannot possibly know either. Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones and have had an incredible string of luck that has enabled you to find the best legal job every time. But I sincerely doubt this because the odds are so stacked against you it is hard to believe.
I have dedicated my entire career to getting good people like your jobs. The more you do something, the more you learn. Several years ago I too was in the job market and looking for a job. I hated what I was doing; it looked like my employer was about to leave the business then. None of this is all that fun.
I want to confess to you at the outset that I am extremely anal-retentive and focused on details. When I do something, I want to know everything there is to know about it. I research every possible angle I can, and I obsess over it. For example, when I got a mortgage on my first house, I probably read at least 4 or 5 books cover to cover to understand the mortgage process before I did anything with a mortgage.
One of the things I have always believed in is that you need to be thorough with everything that you do. You need to know everything there is to know because one fact, one little thing, can change everything. This is something I believe about job searching in particular. I feel passionate about this. When you are looking for a legal job, the most important thing you can do is know about every legal job out there. The more jobs you know about,
The list goes on and on. The name of the game is finding the best legal opportunities and having access to the most opportunities. The more information you know the better off you are going to be. This is something I firmly realized in my job search way back then.
I was luckier than most of you are today. When I was looking for a job, it was late 1999. At that time, there were only a few job boards out there. Moreover, there were only a couple of hundred employers in the legal field in Los Angeles who also put their jobs on their websites. At the time, I tracked all of the jobs and firms with jobs and entered all of the websites of employers, job boards, and other sources into my Palm Pilot—a little software gadget in vogue back then.
I estimate that I spent at least 200 hours working on my little project before I could not take it anymore. I began to lose track of all the job sites and could not make sense of anything. My little Palm Pilot just could not keep up. Exasperated, I switched to a more powerful commercial software program called ACT! This worked better. But the task was still arduous, and I was far from able to track all of the jobs out there, and I was just looking at Los Angeles. What I soon realized was that this was a formidable task. Because there are so many employer websites with jobs, I very rapidly realized that keeping track of all the places I needed to apply to ensure I was thorough in my job search would be next to impossible.
By 2005 I had not only quit my job and started an employment company, I now had a company of over 700 employees—most of who were dedicated to building an incredibly powerful search engine to consolidate every single job out there:
