Job Search for Canadian Law Students – New job site launched

The Law Job Exchange, launched just three weeks ago, promises to “link you up with opportunities that you may have otherwise missed.” 

“The web site is all about sharing opportunities and I don’t think that’s something law students are necessarily used to with the competitiveness of the profession,” says web site founder Nikolitsa Katsoulias. “But [students] seem to be embracing it, so I encourage them to log on and share an opportunity if they find one.”

The main feature of the web site is its job postings, which visitors can only view if they are members. Members can also opt to have job alerts e-mailed to them. Jobs are primarily Canadian-based, but international opportunities have been available.

There is also a blog, where students will be able to find information on the current job market, legal licensing, the articling process, and “everyday news that affects law students,” says Katsoulias.

A University of Ottawa civil law graduate, Katsoulias initially began by posting job opportunities on her own Facebook profile late last year for her friends to see. As interest in the posts grew, she created a Facebook group to keep things in one location and to make it accessible to more job-searching law students.
