FWPA JOB BANK (PLACEMENT) COMMITTEE
The Job Bank is a benefit to FWPA members only and is a service
to the legal profession and other employers of paralegal/legal assistant
positions in the DFW Metroplex area. Resumes are dated upon receipt and,
with the exception of the freelance category, are retained in the Job Bank for
at least three months unless the Placement Chairman is notified otherwise.
EMPLOYERS
The FWPA Job Bank is a FREE SERVICE available to law firms and other entities
seeking paralegals/legal assistants in the DFW Metroplex. The Job Bank was
created to assist our members in locating positions in the legal field that meet
their educational and professional experience. Employers using the FWPA
Job Bank may be assured that our candidates are qualified through education,
training and work experience to perform the requirements of their positions with
the professionalism and high standards necessary in the challenging legal
environment. We will be happy to advertise a position and have
applications/resumes directed to the Job Bank, rather than your firm being
contacted direct. Of course, if you prefer, candidates may contact your firm
direct. Upon placement of a listing in the Job Bank, the Placement Chair
will forward to your firm copies of resumes from our Job Bank. The
position will be advertised in the FWPA placement bulletin and the Cowtown
Paralegal Reporter, unless notified otherwise and remain in the bulletin and
reporter until the Placement Chair receives notification the position has been
filled. To place a listing in the FWPA Job Bank, please contact the Placement
Chairman.
MEMBERS/JOB APPLICANTS
If you are a member of FWPA and are a Voting, Sustaining, Student, Associate,
or Freelance/Independent Paralegal member, you may use the Job Bank listings
published monthly. You may also contact the Placement Chairman for more
recent job availabilities or to place your resume in the Job Bank. Resumes are
treated confidential. If there is a particular employer to whom you do not
want your resume forwarded, please note any restrictions in the cover letter
attached to your resume. If you obtain a position through the Job Bank, or
are notified by an employer when you are seeking employment that the position
has been filled, please notify the Placement Chair so that the listing may be
removed. Resumes will be maintained in the Job Bank for a period of three
months. If you wish your resume to remain in the Job Bank, it will be the
member’s responsibility to notify the Placement Chair in advance of the
expiration of the three-month period. To inquire about the job listings in
the FWPA Job Bank or to send your resume, please contact the Placement Chairman.
