So, LinkedIn and Indeed both suck for legal/compliance job seekers. What other resources would you recommend for those in the legal, compliance, and regulatory space?

I think a recruiter is probably your best bet. I have seen quite a few compliance jobs out there recently

LinkedIn doesn't suck in my experience.

Industry specific bar or compliance associations can be a good resource. For instance, if you want healthcare compliance/regulatory, check AHLA.

I actually landed my current position (as well as several interviews) via Indeed. My experience has been Indeed was pretty good if you're interested in going in house. If you want to be in Biglaw, then recruiters are the way to go. Business are less inclined to pay the recruiter fees than law firms since in house attorneys are a cost, and not a source of revenue, so the extra cost of recruiters is hard to justify. LinkedIn was fine for recruiters hunting me down, and I've had several interviews via that path, but not so much from applying for jobs posted on LinkedIn

I have been a phlebotomist for the last three and a half years with quest. I have over 20 years of experience. And have been trying to transfer to a different state.

If I can't successfully transfer I may have to look for work outside of my current employer.

Would you ever recommend to your firm that he be given a course to catch up? Should I try and get him training on my own? Stay out of it? I dont want to overstep but believe this would help him as this puts him way behind his peers
