Many of the legal sites that offer positions might charge you a fee, which is okay if they have a good selection of positions in which to choose. You certainly do not want to pay for a job bank only to find they have no positions available to you. One easy way around this is to find those sites that allow you to have a free trial so that you can truly get a feel for the kinds of environmental lawyer work they have available.

Beginning the Search


Make certain your resume is up to date and professional. Many lawyers that have been practicing for a number of years often fair to update their resume and when they do, they continue to present it like it was 25 years ago. The problem with that is the resume has changed dramatically in the past 25 years, for instance, there was a time when a functional resume was a preferred resume. It was put into force in order to hide the fact that the applicant had several jobs. However, this has changed and a chronological resume is the preferred method because in today's conservation legal careers, it is expected that you have had several jobs in your life.

The Interviewing Process

Because of your work in the environmental legal profession, you have a passion for your work. This needs to shine through on all your interviews. Practice various interview questions that you normally get stuck on before your show up for the actual interview. Make sure you research thoroughly the firm you are interviewing. The last thing you want to do is show up and not have a clue what the firm's mission is. Find their website and learn as much about them as possible.

By being prepared for your environmental lawyer job interview, you will shine and show the interviewer just what it is you can bring to the table. Granted, you are a lawyer and not a salesperson, but you will have to sell the recruiter or employer your skills, talents, and past work history during the interview. If the initial interview goes well, you can expect to have several follow up interviews until the company makes their final selection. Always be prepared with intelligent questions that relate to the company or to your expectations.

During your interview, be prepared to give several real-life examples of your previous environmental lawyer work. Speak passionately about your work and make certain you sit up straight in your chair as you speak. Slouching gives the impression of not being confident, so even if you normally slouch, do not do it during the interview.

After Each Interview

Alway send a personal thank you note to the interviewer after each interview. It is important that you do this because it shows you truly care about the position and that you are on top of things with following up. Many employers test you to see if you will follow up with a thank you note to see if you are the type of person they want to fill their ecological law vacancy.
