• Definitely apply immediately! Jobs will disappear sometimes within a few days. I struggled with this while also working my firm job, because I was so miserable I didn’t do anything quickly. It was only when I started quickly applying that I started getting interviews.
• The position I ultimately accepted originated from a LinkedIn job posting.
• I used LinkedIn, and also saw the position on goinhouse.com
• Oddly enough I applied for a regulatory position, because they did not have in-house counsel at my current company. They began to gradually give me all legal work when they realized how much I could do, and how much they could save, so I guess I created the position for myself.
• I found mine through networking, but goinhouse.com is also a great resource.

• I found mine through a combined search from LinkedIn job postings; company websites (not all positions are posted elsewhere); indeed.com; goinhouse.com; attorneyjobsinusa.com. I would mine all of the above for job postings. Make sure to spot jobs early and apply immediately!
• Word of mouth and LinkedIn. A mentor partner of mine who left my firm knew I was looking to get out of my position, so he he recommended me to a new client of his looking for in-house assistance. I knew about the position before it popped up on LinkedIn, which is how I ultimately applied, but I’m sure the personal referral gave me a big advantage in getting the job.
• A person who I used to work with at a firm went in-house a couple of years ago and referred me.
• My company found me on LinkedIn.
• I found mine through networking at a conference.
• I used LinkedIn, but also applied through the company website.
• I saw a posting for a job at a client's company, and reached out to my client contact directly to express my interest.
• Goinhouse.com.
