ATTORNEYS...
Where do you look for jobs? Other than the NYLJ of course. I got my current job and the previous one through people I knew.
I really haven't looked for anything since law school. I am looking for something in LI. My school is in the city and so are all of the jobs listed there.
Thanks!

Re: ATTORNEYS...
lawjobs.com
nytimes job boards, you can specify your search just for LI
craiglist might even have listings
also check the job boards from your undergrad place - they might list law jobs also.

Re: ATTORNEYS...
Thanks for your help. I briefly looked on CL. I don't know why, but I feel like a reputable firm would not advertise an attorney position there...I'm sure it's not the case as many people use it and would be a good way to reach many, but that's just my initial feeling.
I'll try the others.

Re: ATTORNEYS...
I highly recommend working with recruiters (more than one). Yes, many of the jobs I heard about through recruiters were in the city, but most of the recruiters I have spoken to have job listnings on the Island, too. I don't know of a LI-based attorney recruiter, but perhaps some Google searches will turn some up.
I also recommend checking the NY Times, Newsday, and Wall Street Journal classifieds. Sometimes Above the Law posts jobs, but it's unlikely they would have any on LI.
Good luck!

The Suffolk Lawyer (newspaper) is planning to add a new Career Opportunities section.

Re: ATTORNEYS...
What field are you looking for? Recruiters right now are having a really nasty time because certain fields have hiring freezes and no one wants to pay a recruiter fee. I have a few friends that are recruiters in NYC and so this is right from them.

Many firms have hiring freezes right now, but not all recruiters are totally dry. I have gotten about 7 leads in the past month from a recruiter in my area (IP and commercial litigation) for large and mid-sized firms...
Recruiters are still a very valuable tool for finding jobs, even in this tough economy.
