Legal Assistants! Take Charge of Your Career

Getting recognition for your hard work is a necessary part of life. Working for a salary increase year after year is honorable, but it doesn’t mean you are being noticed for the merit of your work. Without appreciation the days start to blend together into one big black hole. Burn out sets in and you feel unmotivated. It has to be more than a numbers game.

Linda S. Jevahirian, Founder and President, Legal Search & Management, Inc. will join Ellen Brisson, Certified Personal Coach and Internet Radio Host to discuss how people can enhance their career and get recognized for it. Jevahirian has been helping people make decisions about their employment for more than a decade. She will talk about some of the techniques that can be used to move forward in a flat environment.

Sometimes the difficulty is moving up. In many professions there is no pre-defined ladder to the top. The employee is charged with creating methods for challenge and acknowledgment. This can be very frustrating. But being recognized makes a difference and it shouldn’t be overlooked.

People who take charge of their career learn how to find ways to improve their status. Jevahirian will demonstrate how taking a fresh approach, demonstrating you are an expert, sharing your knowledge, joining professional groups and running for office, being a mentor, assisting management, becoming an expert, and capitalizing on your own uniqueness can make a difference.
