Recruitment consultant needed

[mrs.lotte]

Did you know that the government plans to introduce best value tendering in the criminal courts? That means that private companies will bid for contracts, line their pockets and farm out the cheapest "lawyers" they can find. See Sarah Vine's excellent article in the Guardian yesterday as to the effect that will have. I am resisting the urge to rant but if you are accused of or the victim of crime please note that the aim of the system will be speed and price, not justice.

Anyone with skill and integrity is leaving or planning to leave the criminal bar and I'm one of them.

However having been a criminal (prosecution and defence) advocate for nearly 20 years I feel sure that I have bags of transferable skills but unsure what they are transferable to. So I need to find someone to help give me some direction, write a CV etc.

Can anyone recommend a patient, decent, dynamic recruitment consultant?

You need a careers advisor not a recruitment consultant - my friend is one but in NY this week. I'll point her in your direction

Definitely give Zena Everett at Second Careers http://www.second-careers.co.uk/about.php. She has an enormous amount of experience and is lovely to boot.
