Does anyone have experience with Ben Glass’s “Great Legal Marketing” programs? https://greatlegalmarketing.com
I ordered a free “starter kit” from his company and received a decent-sized box with some books and audio CD’s. Haven’t listened to the CD’s yet, but the books aren’t bad, with plenty of practical advice.
Now he’s running a promotion where you can get two months of his basic-level course for just $19.95 to cover the cost of shipping. It seems that Ben is one of the better-regarded legal marketing “gurus” out there.

Pretty much came to realize I have no specific skills and know a little bit of everything but not enough of one thing. That kept me staffed at D all the time but not useful for job hunting
How much experience do you have? If less than 2-3 years, AML certification won't help. It's a very niche area within FS. I would suggest: determine the kind of job you want, then invest in training. Also a lot of firms hire in Jan and Feb, so be aggressive in networking and sending out resumes during these two months.
Same boat. Discouraged and losing hope. The minute they ask about "current" role, the interview goes downhill.

are you looking for work in consulting again or industry?
Do you want a niche? If you can spare the cash, it could help to get the appro certifications in a niche market. For example, AML: the CAMS certification could get you some positions.
@op don't give up. There is a woman JT O'Donald (sp) on LinkedIn. She has pretty good advice and puts out articles that may be helpful when trying to find a job.
P2, that's just an example. My point is, find what practice area you want to go into, OP. Don't be discouraged; you could use one of the areas you already have experience in and build off of that.
Yes, two months is a very short time and December is holiday month. Work out, do something fun to lift your spirits. Work out of a library or co-working space. Good luck! 💪🏽
OP - what's your background, skill set, # of years and types of projects? When updating the CV, think about value added to clients, what did your project and work help them achieve? Use some of that to also determine where you'd like to focus and then build your story. No one is worthless, and, everything you do adds to your knowledge base - think, apply your consulting skills to this job search - if you need more direct advice, drop me a note fbburner311@gmail.com
I am a 2nd year analyst and ended up getting 2 corporate strategy job offers and more interviews through job postings on LinkedIn. Afterwards, I would just find a recruiter on LinkedIn as well from the company and send them an email saying I applied and would love to talk about the position with them. Also don't be afraid to check out headhunters in your area - they can often find positions you wouldn't be able to find on your own. Hopefully things will pick back up for you this month as the holidays are wrapping up - good luck :)
