DOJ Law Jobs
Great timing. The boss announces his resignation and the department launches a help wanted app. While departing Attorney General Eric Holder considers his options and offers, now’s as good a time as any to look at opportunities for lawyers and law students interested in joining the Department of Justice. DOJ Law Jobs released in September features listings of current openings for experienced and entry-level lawyers, as well as paid and volunteer internships for law students, at the federal arm that boasts it’s “the world’s largest law office, employing more than 10,000 attorneys nationwide.”
DOJ says it “has opportunities for you at every stage of your legal career,” although these jobs are notoriously highly selective. Justice is much more than federal prosecutors and the world-famous Federal Bureau of Investigation. Click on “hiring organizations” to scroll the line-up of DOJ agencies and offices in which you may land your next law job. You might find an opening in the Drug Enforcement Administration or Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. How about the Bureau of Prisons, Office on Violence Against Women, Interpol Washington, U.S. Marshals Service, or many other DOJ offices?  Select “areas of law” to find the offices that handle your favorite practice areas, including antitrust, tax and immigration.
The app is intended as informational and does not enable applying for these openings—follow links to actually submit your resume and apply for the positions. Search by location including Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and overseas. Save and email job notices. So while the White House searches for Holder’s successor (and doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to find her or him), download DOJ Law Jobs and see if there’s a role for you. For some reason there’s no listing for Attorney General.  Free, iOS  Android version coming.
Wage and hour guide.

Not ready to retire?

  • Retirement at Work FBN
The explosion of online technology, smartphones, apps and tablets have forever altered our work schedules. 
Working 9-5 behind a desk in a cubicle is no longer the only choice for employees, which is good news for boomers not ready to fully retire.   
Most boomers plan to work after retirement age or never retire at all. And for these boomers, crowd working might be the perfect fit.

Tips on How to Inspire Your Employees


images
Inspiring your employees is extremely important when major changes take place within a company. Mergers, layoffs, restructuring and downsizing leave a mark on the employees who survive. No matter how you would like to name these changes, they all lead to the same result – traumatized employees.
It is easy to assume that the people who remain in your company should have a sense of gratitude for the chance they are being given. However, they need the same attention, moral support and guidance as the fired personnel. When you think about it, friendships that bonded between co-workers were cut short, the work load is increased, and the employee’s position in the company is not guaranteed anymore.

Changes in the Legal Profession and the Progress of Female Lawyers




Law Library With ScalesThe Great Recession of 2007-09 has hit the legal profession particularly hard. In 2012, there were 201 ABA-accredited law schools. Only 19 of them placed 75 percent or more of their graduates in jobs that require a law degree. For the non-ABA-accredited law schools, many of which are in California, the placement is far worse. In general, more than one-third of law school graduates cannot find a position requiring bar passage. The National Association for Law Placement reported that less than two-thirds (64.4 percent) of 2013 graduates had jobs that require bar passage.
For those who have jobs, the median starting salary for lawyers has fallen 15 percent from 2009 to 2012.

There is also no rosy employment outlook for lawyers already working in many large firms. In the past decade, twelve major firms with more than 1,000 partners between them have gone out of business. In June of last year, Weil Goshal, the well-known New York-based law firm, announced it was laying off 60 associates, about seven percent of its total. Several dozen of the firm’s 300 partners who will remain will see a cut in pay. The law firm’s executive partner, Barry Wolf, told a reporter, “We believe that this is not just a cycle, but that the supply-demand balance is out of whack across the industry.” If the firm thought that business would pick up substantially in 2014, “we would not be doing this.”
