INDIVIDUAL SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT #24 RESUME AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD OF LAW Go to: http://brycelegal.com/ Why Us? An attorney-founded boutique dedicated to outstanding career services in just one field — law. Changing jobs can seem overwhelming. Especially in a difficult economy. There’s so much to think about. Does your resume highlight your experience, skills, and assets? Will your resume help you get noticed by employers and legal recruiters? Is your resume targeted to your immediate and long-range career goals? Does your resume move your job search and your career forward? Here’s how Bryce Legal® can make a challenging time easier for you: We understand what you’re going through. Many of Bryce Legal’s clients are looking for a new legal job for the first time in years, some for the first time ever. We understand your challenges, frustrations, and fears. Whether you are currently employed, downsized, graduating, or just looking for a change, let us help you understand the value you bring to employers, and to position yourself to find a better fit, in less time. We understand hiring processes and trends in the legal market. Bryce Legal was founded by Shauna C. Bryce, an attorney with experience in legal hiring as a member of a law firm hiring committee and as a resume writer and career adviser. She stays on top of the legal market through an extensive network of hiring attorneys (in firms of all sizes, government, nonprofits, regulated businesses, corporations, and academia), legal recruiters, and other legal/hiring professionals. We conduct in-depth client interviews.

We do not send you lengthy forms to fill out, expecting you to recite your job responsibilities. Instead, we conduct one-on-one client interviews designed to identify and highlight the experience, skills, and accomplishments that employers tell us they’re looking for in job candidates. It’s a collaborative process that not only results in a resume that appeals to employers, but also will prepare you for tough job interview questions. We custom-craft all our career documents and target them toward your career goals. At Bryce Legal, we do not use resume and cover letter templates. Nor do we just revise your existing resume. Instead, we recognize that every client is different. A resume that’s perfect for a senior products liability litigator in a large Los Angeles firm will not work well for a recent graduate with an LLM in Tax pursuing a career in trusts and estates in a small firm in Atlanta. We create each client’s resume, cover letters, and other auxiliary career documents from scratch, and target them to that client’s career goals.
