YOUR PERSONAL RECRUITMENT ADVISOR

I use over 15 years of law firm recruiting experience to work with students to successfully navigate each stage of their job search.

HOW I HELP…

Recruiters work for law firms. You want someone who works for you. I understand what it’s like to practice law, have an extensive network within the legal community, possesses in-depth knowledge of the players within the legal market, and know first-hand how employers think so you feel prepared and confident. I use my years of practice, recruiting experience, and knowledge of what law firms expect to demystify the process. Let me help you get clear about what you have to offer, and how it translates into what employers are looking for to land the job you want.  

  • Career Path Coaching - gain clarity on the career path that’s right for you so that you know which employers to target, and how to express your interest

  • Networking Coaching - network confidently with a plan that advances your career goals

  • Resume and Cover Letter Coaching - write a cover letter and resume that go beyond cookie-cutter soundbites to communicate that you know what employers are looking for, and showcase you at your best

  • Interview Coaching - learn to speak about yourself in an authentic, natural and persuasive way

  • Interview Preparation - answer difficult questions convincingly (including ones you hope they don’t ask) and be prepared when the tables are turned, and they ask if you have any questions for them

  • Recruitment Support - I’m there as your advisor and sounding board during the interview process to work through your strategy, and any dilemma or question you might face

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING…

“One of the most daunting aspects of the OCI process as a student is all of the unknown. What is this firm thinking? How should I respond to this invitation? etc. Marketta was an amazing resource and sounding board as I navigated through these challenges. I feel she helped me grow throughout this process. and present the best version of myself to firms. I was very satisfied with how my coaching went with Marketta. It helped me accomplish everything I hoped to.”- 2L Summer Student Recruit

“I had a really hard time before working with Marketta… but my sessions with her undoubtedly led me to achieving my ultimate goal in finding an articling position and also helped me gain tools that I can use in the future. She really understood my problem areas and actively encouraged and supported me in working on those in a way that was sensitive to my learning style. Marketta was the perfect balance of friendly/kind and understanding while also encouraging, supporting and pushing me. I procrastinate and delay things that give me anxiety and I would rather not address them but with Marketta's help I was able to work on my insecurities in a positive way. I also plan on continuing to see her once I begin at the firm.” - 3L Articling Student Recruit

“If it wasn't for working with Marketta, my cover letter and resume would not be the same, and I honestly don't know if I would have a job today without it. I learned how to be a better applicant and networker in a way that law school never prepared me for. It was a fun, effective, and tailored experience that taught me a lot about myself and how I could make my job search more effective.” - Recent Graduate Seeking Articles

“I think Marketta has a gift for helping people see the positive side of things. It helps people who have hit a rut, and no longer have the energy to keep trying, to get excited about prospects again, at least enough to not give up. Marketta knows how to help you put your best foot forward. You can send her whatever job posting you want, and she can help you get the job, or an interview at the very least. She’s very good at tailoring cover letters to the specific position, as well as prepping you to answer interview questions about yourself and your experience. She is very responsive, accommodating to your schedule, and cognizant of your application deadlines. She helped me learn more about myself and what I was looking for.” - Recent Graduate Seeking Articles

"I came in with a certain goal and got much more out of coaching than I expected. I felt much more prepared to begin articles because Marketta, with her unique background, was able to share so much knowledge and talk about common articling experiences, challenges, and effective strategies." - Recent Graduate Starting Articles
