For Immediate Release This year the Student Conference theme is “Survival.” On May 1, 2004 Linda S. Jevahirian, Founder and President, Legal Search & Management, Inc. will present “Surviving the Job Search” Oakland Community College, Orchard Ridge Campus. Finding a job is a process like anything else. It requires focus and discipline, as well as being in the right place at the right time. New paralegals that know how to employ specific job finding techniques will be the most successful. The key is locating entry-level positions, and this is no easy task. The strategy is not as simple as writing a resume and answering a bunch of want ads. In fact, most professional positions are filled through word of mouth and never even hit the papers. You’ve heard this before – and its true. Being at the right place at the right time. It’s not always what you know but who you know. Networking is probably the most important tool. Believe it or not the people with the most information are employed paralegals. Students need to understand the value of keeping in touch with these influencers. Attending association meetings and getting involved is one of the best ways to accomplish this task. If it seems like there is nowhere to go, don’t give up. There is a constant need for good legal assistants. A good education and a good fight will land that first position. And guess what? Job searching skills are the same at all levels. The second time around it is a whole lot easier. Linda S. Jevahirian, Founder and President, Legal Search & Management, Inc., will talk about “Surviving the Job Search” at Oakland Community College on Saturday, May 1, 2004 from 9:45 – 10:45 am. The Student Conference runs from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. For more details and to register call the Paralegal Program at 248.522.3627 or email Doug Kolly at dpkolly@oaklandcc.edu. The cost for the conference is $45.00 and includes morning and afternoon sessions, program materials, morning coffee and lunch.
