"Unprepared Applicants:" Marc Zwetchkenbaum of Marc Z Legal Staffing joins us for a “Marc Z Moment” to explore how while it’s easier than ever to research for an interview, applicants seem to be doing it less and less, hurting both their chances and their understanding of how they might fit the role. #jobsearch #hiring #jobinterview WATCH this snippet then CLICK on the link in the comments for the full interview!

If you're a superstar attorney in a top tier team and you're not getting traction with interviews -- ask your recruiter what their track record is, and what their relationship is with the firms and partners you're being submitted to. Too often I come across smart, commercial attorneys working in practice areas where they should be getting multiple offers and sign on bonuses but aren't getting any traction, or are being side-lined in processes -- and think it's the market. Do your research, folks -- if you're being schmoozed by a recruiter, RUN 🏃 #nobueno

💬❔ Understanding the Rise of Unprepared Job Applicants In today's competitive job market, preparation can make all the difference between landing your dream job or missing out. Yet, despite the plethora of resources available at our fingertips, job applicants are increasingly showing up unprepared for interviews. This trend not only hurts their chances of securing a position but also reflects a misunderstanding of their fit for the role. Why are job applicants increasingly unprepared? 1. Over-reliance on General Knowledge: With easy access to information online, many applicants assume they can "wing it" without doing specific research about the company, its culture, or the role itself. This lack of tailored preparation often results in generic answers that fail to impress. 2. Time Constraints and Burnout: In today's fast-paced world, job seekers may be juggling multiple responsibilities or applying to numerous positions simultaneously. This can lead to rushed preparation or a lack of thorough research into each opportunity. 3. Misunderstanding the Role: Without deep research into the role's requirements and company expectations, applicants may struggle to articulate how their skills and experiences align with what the employer is looking for. This disconnect can be a major turn-off for recruiters. To delve deeper into this issue, Z Legal's Marc Zwetchkenbaum sheds light on why applicants are increasingly unprepared and the impact it has on their job prospects. 🎥 Watch the full Radio Entrepreneurs video below. Let's start a conversation about how we can empower job seekers to approach interviews with confidence and thorough preparation.

Why haven't you researched the law firm you're interviewing with?! Researching the firm you're interviewing with is arguably the most important aspect of preparing for your interview. Don't let yourself walk into an interview and not know exactly why you like the firm in question, what motivates you about joining them, and how you can see yourself there long term. If you haven't had that conversation with yourself, there's no time like the present. Good luck out there 👊 #Recruitment #Legal #InterviewPrep #LawFirms
