In what kind of law are you looking for a job? Maybe your resume just needs a little sprucing.
ive only worked in one law firm
Stretch it out, then. Is that the only job you've had? If not, try to pull your job duties that had anything to do with office work from your other jobs and put them in. Don't list waitressing jobs. If it is the only job worth mentioning, make your list of skills long. List things you did in your last firm that were unique, i.e. "implementing new filing system" or "Reorganizing the flow of data".
Nope.... my last job title was legal secretary....nothing special! My jobs before that were in retail.... Staples for a year and a half
No, the title isn't what's important, it's the skills you list. Make those stand out.
ok.... my resume says: General Office Responsibilities, Research, Education Law
Don't generalize. Be specific. List what "General Office Responsibilities" entails and don't use single words or short terms like "Research" or "Education law", use sentences, like "Legal research through internet mediums and law textbooks" and make "Education Law" it's own heading, then list duties specific to that kind of law underneath it. Don't forget to put your typing speed and that you can use a dictaphone, if you can't, learn.
can i ez message you my resume?... the dictaphone.... is that the tape recorder thing?
Sure. Or you can e-mail it to me in word at my office: diana@kingspry.com
