The Right Moves: Job Search and Career Development Strategies for Lawyers
Valerie A. Fontaine, 2006.

Legal search consultant Valerie Fontaine shares proven secrets for success for lawyers at all stages of their careers — whether they want to conduct a successful job search or position themselves for success in their current organizations. More than 75% of lawyers change jobs within the first five years of practice, and there is increasing mobility among senior attorneys, yet many have no idea how to conduct a successful job search or how to develop a plan for success. Moreover, in today's challenging economy, lawyers who never planned to make a move are suddenly finding themselves in search of a job -- or in need of repositioning themselves within their current organizations. The Right Moves shows lawyers at all levels of experience how to conduct an effective self-assessment and design a personalized career plan; stay abreast of trends in the legal marketplace; determine where to look for opportunities; assess a career move; maximize their marketability; write effective cover letters and resumes; ace all types of interviews; follow up for maximum impact; handle offer negotiations and counter-offers; choose the right environment; make smooth career transitions; work smarter, not harder; and position themselves to springboard ahead. Fontaine's advice has drawn rave reviews from those seeking a transition as well as those advising law school alumni or outplaced attorneys.
