In a recent feature by the Fulton County Daily Report, the trend towards using contract employees, especially lawyers, is gaining popularity with the big firms. Contract attorneys are being called in more frequently at times when caseloads get extra heavy. This trend is allowing more people to practice law out of their homes than ever before. Firms are beginning to realize some of the benefits of using contract lawyers, too. Agencies like CambridgeStaff pre-screen lawyers, which saves firms from a huge administrative task.
Firms also avoid responsibility of expensive benefits.
And if an contractor doesn't work out, there's no problem in parting ways. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. This couldn't be more true when it comes to job hunting. How you're dressed for an interview won't get you the job altogether, but what you wear and how you look will say a mouthful about your qualifications. Always plan on wearing business dress clothes to an interview.
