In order to maximize your chances of being hired, we recommend that you provide as many details as you can when creating or updating your profile. Our platform supports a number of items that can help to make you stand out, including:

  • Resume: Your resume needs to conform to our structure/input fields (we do this to create uniformity in presentation) and must include your employment history, educational information, and any other information that you feel may be important for a prospective law firm to know when considering hiring you.

  • Profile Picture: A clear photograph of your face. We suggest a professional photograph.

  • Areas of Expertise: Our platform provides over 50 different legal areas of expertise (and continues to grow). We allow you to check up to 10 different areas of law in which you feel you have significant experience and expertise.

  • Length of Experience: For each area of expertise, the system will automatically calculate the length of experience you have based on the entries you provide.

  • Current City: Your location may be an important factor for some law firms and/or assignments. In some circumstances, for instance, law firms may require you to attend a meeting or visit their office.

  • Personal Video: It is recommended that you create your own short video (60-90 seconds), where you can tell law firms a little bit about yourself and emphasize your skill set (see How do I upload a personal video?).

  • Writing Samples: You can upload a maximum of four samples to demonstrate your writing skills. We recommend that you remove or redact any confidential information from these writing samples prior to uploading them to your profile.

  • Verified Status: In order to increase your chances of getting hired, you can upload evidence of your status with the state bar, such as a copy of your bar card or identification, a copy of your bar admission certificate, a copy of a certificate of good standing issued by the bar, etc. Once we receive a proper copy of such evidence, an icon will be added next to your name indicating that you are verified.

  • Insurance Status: You can upload evidence showing that you are currently covered by professional liability insurance. Once received, we will add an icon to your profile indicating that you are insured.

  • Recommendation Letters: To increase your chances of getting hired, we recommend you upload any recommendations that you have received while working as an attorney, as well as any other recommendations you have received from previous employers.
