Many Russian universities and technical schools have law faculties, so getting a legal education is not difficult. It is much more difficult to find a job for yesterday's student who has no experience, because there is already an oversupply of lawyers in the camp. If you analyze the advice of experienced, then you can try several methods at the same time, which will significantly increase your chances.
Instructions
Step 1
Tune in to the fact that if you do not have acquaintances and connections, then for some time, at least several years, you will have to work for a very small salary. But if you are determined, ready to prove yourself as a competent specialist, then your efforts will be noticed and appreciated.
Step 2
Start by writing a resume and posting it on job search sites. Study the materials on the Internet, where advice is given on how to correctly and competently write a resume that may be of interest to the employer. Browse the websites of law firms located in your city. They often publish vacancies in a special section. You can independently write letters to the managing partners of these companies, even if their sites do not have information about available vacancies.
Step 3
Try to avoid grammatical and spelling mistakes when writing your resume or letter. Demonstrate your ability to communicate correctly, for this is one of the main skills. Do not exaggerate your merits and it is better if you do not mention your salary expectations - for now, as a specialist, you are nobody and your task is to gain valuable experience.
Step 4
Be prepared for the fact that you may be offered a job that does not require high qualifications - an assistant lawyer and even a secretary. If you are satisfied with the company, then we advise you to agree. Start small - do what you know how: fill in the texts of contracts or letters, select the necessary literature, carry out small assignments. If you have a desire to learn, then you will do it even in the process of working as a secretary or an assistant to a lawyer.
Step 5
You can also try applying for government jobs. As a rule, due to low salaries, there is always a high turnover of personnel and there are always vacancies for junior positions. Use every opportunity so that in a year you can say that you have work experience.
