When a legal professional begins working with a legal recruiter it is very important to get organized in order to maximize the benefits of using a legal recruiter.  Let's discover a few simple steps a legal professional can take to stay organized throughout the entire process of working with a legal recruiter.
1.    Maintain accurate records when working with more than one legal recruiter.  Keep track of who sent your resume to what legal job etc. Remember to maintain confidentiality, don't disclose information about legal job opportunities to other recruiters you may be working with.
2.    Keep accurate records, keeping track of which legal recruiter gave you a legal opportunity and when they gave it you.
3.    Keep careful records of where you have submitted your legal resume, to what law firms and when your legal resume was submitted.
4.    Avoid sending out duplicate resumes to the same law firm within six months of each other.  Duplicate legal resumes can give a bad impression to potential employers. To insure that this doesn't happen, make sure your legal recruiter is kept up-to-date regarding where you have sent resume and when.
5.    Find out what additional assistance the legal recruiter offers, such as help with resumes, proofreading legal writing samples, help with legal job transitioning and job interview preparedness. Make sure you take advantage of these extra benefits.
