Although e-discovery in the US is still a growth market, the economic crisis has caused some turmoil. Some vendors have closed, others have been sold, and some experts have lost their jobs. One of those experts, Babs Deacon, now works for Integreon as Director of Consulting, Data Analytics. Babs tells the story of her recent job search in an article she wrote, EDD Staffing: Pink to Green, for the June 2009 edition of Law Technology News (and featured in LTN’s Daily Alert on June 2, 2009). For EDD professionals who are looking for work or thinking about a job change, this is recommended reading. Aside from good advice, it is an amusing story.
In addition, LTN’s Monica Bay interviews Babs about her job hunting experiences in a Law Technology Now podcast, Greening Your Career: Surviving after a Layoff, available on Legal Talk Network.
For those attending the upcoming LegalTech West Coast conference in Los Angeles, Babs will be speaking on June 25, 2009 during the Greening Your Career networking breakfast. The breakfast will be hosted by Monica Bay and will feature a panel of experts in an upbeat discussion for members of the legal community who may be looking for jobs.
