Law school facilitating temporary employment for alumni

The lingering recession has led many legal employers who are reluctant to hire additional full-time attorneys to consider hiring temporary workers for short-term projects.  

To connect KU Law graduates who are seeking temporary work with legal employers in the market for skilled temporary workers, we have created a Temporary Employment resource on the Career Services section of the KU Law Web site.

Both employers and job seekers are invited to complete a brief enrollment form in order to be listed on our database.  An employer may then request a resume directly from a candidate or visit KU Law’s Symplicity Web site to review a Resume Book of all KU Law alumni interested in temporary assignments. 

Employers can gain access to the Resume Book by registering for an employer account on Symplicity. The Resume Book is accessible from Symplicity's "Resume Book" tab and is titled "Temp Job Seekers."

The Temporary Employment Resource serves only to introduce candidates to potential employers. The University of Kansas School of Law does not verify the accuracy of the information provided by either job seekers or potential employers.

If you have any questions or comments about this service, please e-mail Todd Rogers at tarogers@ku.edu.
