Favor to Ask - Job Search

[Wheelgunner]

Gentlemen,

Longtime listener and fan, first time caller.  Favor to ask.  I’m in the middle of a job search.

I’m a business and contracts attorney.  (I know – please don’t throw a shoe at me.)  I’m looking for an in-house attorney position either in the healthcare field or at a large or mid-size company.  I have experience with: healthcare law, risk management, cloud-hosted services contracts, contracts for software development, contracts for other professional services, litigation management, intellectual property law, and negotiation.  I can handle general business law tasks and have experience advising C-level executives.

Anyone know of somewhere I might be a good fit?  Any suggestions about how to find/pursue job opportunities?  Other helpful advice?  Or if you just want to tell me to soldier up, drink water, do pushups, and stop complaining, I welcome that, too.

This is not exactly urgent.  By the grace of God I’m able to make ends meet for my family and have a job, and my coworkers are good folks.  Still, looking for a change.

I’m knocking out soon, but I’ll check back tomorrow evening.  Thanks for any input you can offer.

I'm embarrassingly longwinded.

Best of luck to you. In the hunt myself!

[DWARREN123]

Best of luck to both of you!

Having been self employed for 31 years I'm afraid I'm not much help. However best of luck and fwiw I'll send a prayer up.

Thanks for the encouragement, gents.  And thanks to everyone for the PMs - much appreciated.

@ Raoul - I happen to know that it's worth a great deal.  Thank you.

What part of the state are you in? Any interest in real estate law? I think the title company my wife works for is looking to replace a lawyer that quit.

Seems like everything is hopping in East Tennessee. Check with Tennova for medical. 

Garza Law in Knoxville growing.

Real estate here is booming but all the agents I know are small operations.

Not surprising.  They advertise heavily and are big on personal injury/DUI.

True,I'm not a big fan of any of them but they're the name I hear the most.  The other big names have been quiet for some time. 

Fortunately, one that got the DUI a couple years ago isn't posted on every square inch of town any longer.

I'm near Nashville.  Candidly my experience in estate law is limited and nil in title work.  But I definitely appreciate the thought.

I'll absolutely take a look at Tennova - thanks.
