If you were planning to begin your job search by obtaining copies of the local, state and national print legal periodicals and researching the want ads, you would be missing a larger and just as useful job search resource – the Internet. For those new to the Web job market, it can be an intimidating prospect.

If you were to enter the words “legal jobs” into a search engine, for example “Google,” you would obtain more than 644 entries with the notice “In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 644 already displayed.” The amount of time it would take you to cull through the displayed items would be substantial as they range from varied on-line newspaper classified ads to headhunter advertisements to a casino with jobs in a “legal gambling” environment. Perhaps not what you were expecting. The Internet gives you all possible choices using the entered search terms – in your case – “legal jobs.”
