The New York State Bar Association presents a free live webcast:

Think Small!
Learning About and Locating Positions in Small Law Firms

Wednesday, September 16, 2009
12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Presented by:
Ronald W. Fox, Esq.
Legal Career Counselor
Career Planning for Lawyers

For many years, if not decades, there has been an intense focus on large law firms as if they represent the entire legal profession. The lack of openings within large law firms makes this a most appropriate time for lawyers and law students to realize that there are many options in small law firms.

This program is targeted to lawyers who are dissatisfied, underemployed, unemployed, and recent graduates and law students who are planning their careers.

During this two hour workshop you will:

* learn the fundamental principles of career planning, especially the importance of knowing one’s goals and values;
* discover the options, diversity and benefits of practice in small law firms;
* understand the difference between applying for jobs and searching for openings;
* learn to draft a targeted resume/brochure; and
* gain techniques to successfully market and promote oneself.

While the program is free, pre-registration (ASAP) is required here.
