A previous posting on this blog reported that one of our reference Librarians and legal research instructors, Mark Giangrande, was invited to participate in a seminar at Wayne State University Law School, entitled “Getting Started – Switching Gears: Practical Advice for Attorneys in Transition.”
The seminar was well received and was a front page story In the Detroit Legal News, "Switching gears - Seminar coaches lawyers on how to find jobs in tight economy" by Cynthia Price . The focus of the program on providing advice for finding employment in the very tough legal market , brought out over 50 attendees. In addition to the informative presentations by several speakers and responses to questions, each participant left with a CD with tips for establishing an effective Web site quickly and a multi-page handout, “Career Transition Strategies and Resources,” which included 19 pages of internet resources.
Mark said he enjoyed being part of the seminar and would be willing to participate in future programs of this type. Given the depth of the economic crisis out there, they probably will be needed.
