[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no more of a dead end job than a document review attorney.  What a mistake to go that route.  How did you fall into it in the first place?  Did you strike out of other jobs after graduating?  How long have you been out of law school?[/quote] about 18 years. No luck finding jobs in law school and after. I realize this about doc review. I’m asking how I get out and into compliance or something else [/quote]

Honestly, you need to re-tool completely.  Act as if you don't even have a law degree, because for all practical purposes when it comes to future employment opportunities you don't.  At this point it's as if you never went to law school.

I hate to sound harsh, but it's the truth.  I have intimate knowledge of what your job entailed.  Doing it for a couple of years is potentially ok -- you can dig yourself out of it into something at least law related.  But doing it for as long as you have is a career killer.  I'm sorry.[/quote] I can’t leave 20 years off my resume . Do you have any practical suggestions?[/quote]

Yes.  Go back to school.  Or change directions entirely.  Just stop thinking that, at this point, your law degree qualifies you for a "JD preferred" job.  In your particular case, it doesn't.  I'm sorry that that's not what you want to hear, but it's something you need to hear. [/quote]

+1 get a new certificate or something in HR or compliance. [/quote]

certificate in what type of compliance ?[/quote]

You serious man? Go research the options. This is how doc reviewers end up like this. They don’t take initiative and fall into whatever path of least resistance. [/quote]
