Using Facebook Ads to Find Legal Work
Attention Law Students: There's a great post over at One Day One Job abut Using Facebook Ads to Make Employers Hunt You Down that's definitely worth a read. It recaps an experiment where job seekers used targeted Facebook ads to reach people who worked for companies they admired. For Katelyn Hill (below), here's what happened:
Kately n Hill recently graduated from Abilene Christian University with a degree in Electro nic Media. She loves television and movies and hopes to work in the entertainment industry, so she targeted the Walt Disney Company with her Facebook advertisin g campaign. Her ad received 685 clicks, which garnered 21 e-mails and 4 Facebook messages. She was offered one job interview, but wasn’t quite qualified for the position, so she declined. She also had several e-mails from individuals who offered to forwar d her resume to their supervisors. Many others offered her general advice on fin ding a job with Disney or commented on how creative they thought her ad campaign was.
I think this is a brilliant idea. It isn't a reach to take this approach and target attorneys and staff at specific firms you'd like to work for.
It could (though your malpractice carrier may disagree) also work for lawyers targeting specific clients or types of work as well.
