For contract attorney purposes, what you need to know about the Corcordance system can be taught to a blindfolded chimpanzee in about five minutes. So-called "career counselors" that try to take advantage of the unemployed by claiming that they are conveying knowledge that offers some kind of competitive edge in these difficult economic times is truly despicable. Please, do not pay a nickel to these bozos.
"Peak Discovery is offering a series of 'Concordance Fundamentals' training sessions. Solid knowledge of Concordance, the industry’s mostwidely used document review platform, can provide an advantage to Staff of Contract Attorneys looking to secure their next role in a challenging market.

Is this a joke??? I learned Concordance in a few hours -- FREE at my last firm!!
Sorry, I mean minutes...learned it in a few minutes --
This is really sad.
Just another way to further feed off the carcass of the new graduate. This guy only needs a few pasties to fall for his scam and he gets to walk away with at least a grand in his pocket.
Hey ladies and germs:
I'll teach you Concordance for $25 bucks!!
Call me!!!
Peak should focus on getting me a job - fuck the training sessions!!
Peak just needs to slip a few bucks under the table to the "legal rebels" over there in the ABA. Maybe they can get ABA accreditation for it.
First, they pay less than ANY other agency [other than Legal Options] and now they want to screw us more???
Jeez...
Peak's new name should be Trough!!
They are sliding surely but slowly downhill!!
Is that a picture of tonight's dinner at S&C for the jamaicans and co.?
And fuck you EHI, I see you and I kick you fat face, I'd say ass but cant distinguish.
Even in the boom times, Peak and Helene Diamond were the bottom of the bottom feeders. That woman must have called me a million times offering me a rate $10 below market. I mean these employers are temporary, and surely they don't owe you the type of loyalty and respect that a permanent employer would, but it is shocking how much they blatantly go out of their way to screw you over in both the good times and bad.
Even I would not stoop that low.
They should offer a course in how to act and carry yourself in a G-H-E-T-T-O manner. That's the only way one can survive in a shithole like S&C.
Peak is completely phony and incompetent. Avoid Peak Legal, especially Kathy Fournaris.
Heck peoples, I'll teach you Concordance for FREE!! So easy...
What was that about topless women in Central Park yesterday?? I was on my way to an interview with an agency and after seeing these ladies I could hardly keep myself together!! What gives???
This is an excellent way for an agency to maximize some profits during these tough times.
I plan on offering a course in etiquette and professionalism to help job candidates wash the taint of that horrible ghetto S&C litigation analyst position off their resumes. As a public service, I will only be charging $99.
Suck my dick biiiatch....
What the fuck is all this I am hearing about S&C being ghetto and people being hood, and my name being mentioned. You fucking pices of crap, pieces of shit, motherfuckers, I will cut your dick off, cunts, whores, stick my big size 15 foot up your ass, you lying sack if shit, do you want to be cut up in tiny cubes like I cut my boyfriend's clothing?? WHO is hood and ghetto??? As Alicia Keys said "No one, no one, no one"
Yo, Valvina take it easy...you obviously are hood, biiatch
I worked with this monster bitch Valvina - she was 100% ghetto and totally unprofessional. She told a bunch of temp attorneys she would FIRE them if they talked to her ex-boyfriend...cunt!!
She is always stalking the halls like a common street thug...with her torpedo boobs
That prick Better Coder should pimp his skills for a few hours for, oh, say, $1.25 per head.
Be nice to Miss Valvina. Its hard carrying around those torpedo boobs all day.
Beer man! Beer man! Where is my beer man? I need a laugh and beer man is always funny. Beer man! Beer man! Beer man!
Helga wants a cold beer.
Does anyone even use concordance anymore? I used it once on my first temp job 3 years ago and never saw it again.
Valvina is one crazy bitch. Avoid that psycho at all costs.
But of course. Concordance is used in all the best sweatshops and whorehouses.
Valvina's a crazy hyena
Concordance is a decent litigation software tool. Many of the other specialty programs are nothing more than high priced crap.
Listen you dolts, the training actually might be useful. Theres no way you can learn what you need to know in about 5 minutes - the only thing you can master in that time in the art of being an ineficcient disposable piece of shit reviewer.
I've worked on a bunch of cases where people reviewing on Concordance miss responsive of priv docs, or reviewers will continuously tag them in a way that the tags "stick" and are difficult to remove, or they create errant notes on the documents that cause problems down the line, and dont even know the basics like how to view the documents in a table and sort them by date, subject or sender. Even more idiotic than the temps are the associates and staff attorneys who use it all the time, have no excuse and are still completley fucking clueless.
Those of us working at your discovery vendors enjoy making $160k and working 9-6, the last thing I want to be doing is sitting in the office at night fixing your stupid fucking tags, searching for the shit you missed, or explaining to your dumb ass how to locate a document by bates number at 9pm when I should be at home having a fucking beer!
Shut the fuck up, you whiny festering asshole.
Concordance is only used for docs on the local network or hard drive. It can only handle a small percentage of the online providers.
Its a niche, specialty product. It is almost never used on the normal large scale doc reviews. Ask Peak if they use it in their own offsite facility. The answer is no.
This is indeed just a joke and really shows the utter disdain peak has for contract attorneys.
"Let's offer these idiots a service, especially for insecure recent grads. Let's make it $200. No wait, $199, lol! These idiots will be breaking our door down to get this training. They can have mommy and daddy pa for it.
Okay, $199 it is."
Peak's notorious no-jobs Queen of Mean Helene Diamond cooked this up to make up for zero jobs revenue.
She will do anything for a dollar.
She will send you on any wild goose chase looking for a $2 per hour job, so she is just ripping off people again with this training scam.
Go to hell Helene!
Go to hell cheating New York Bar (which also offers training for out of work members, another scam)!
Helene, you're like the after-sales arm of a law school, out to shake down stupid gullible law gards even more.
Helene you lying bitch you can't even get people a market-rate temp job when the market is rock bottom and falling!
Helene's B.S. "fishing expedition" calls and emails are only to get leads from her "candidates" and glom on to them like a greedy leech.
Her ex-deputy Shawn Treadwell, is well known in all the temp world as a fucking lawyer who calls everyone with nothing.
Helene Diamond - the rapacious vulture and worfst character in the whole temp world by far.
"Listen you dolts, the training actually might be useful. "
Hi,, Helene Diamond and Peak (given away by their referring to people as dolts, their view of temps)!

For $100 an hour I'll teach a class on how Ehi and Innis can butt fuck each other. I am sure they will demonstrate.

Ya to the NY Times article, I can't wait for that Yale law grad to make my latte at Starbucks, he or she will do such a good job...
All,
A lot of my fans and followers have been wondering whether I'll be one of the instructors for the Concordance Seminars. Fortunately for those planning to sign up, I will. Peak and I have come to an agreent on rate, which coupled with my standard 70/week (40 and 60 of course), should pay me handsomely.
Very Truly Yours,
I Rock Concordance Coder
"Even in the boom times, Peak and Helene Diamond were the bottom of the bottom feeders."
Do the words "fucking greedy vulture" mean anything to you?
Helene offered less because she was giving you less out of her total take.
She would have joined the SS and the Gestapo to benefit herself.
I got my crystal ball going. Time to tell the future!
This industry is going the way the I.T. field went. So, lets see if my predictions are correct:
Prediction #1: These package classes will multiply.
Prediction #2: the class prices will go up.
Prediction #3: Recruiters will start to prefer these classes
Prediction #4 Recruiters will start to require them. Side note: Recruiters are neither techn nor do they bother to understand the industry they recruit for. Example: CICS was a package that was on the market for 3 years. In almost all recruiter ads had a mandatory requirement of 6 years package experience to apply. Get your time machine out!
Prediction #5: Recruiters will require techn interviews. These are nit-pick interviews to see if you know the package you took the course and claim you know. Recruiters pay their prefer d people $100 to phone candidates and do the interview. Unfortunately, some interviewers take this to trivial pursuit level and ask things you would 99% never know about the package.
Prediction #6: The software life cycle, no matter what the package is, will last 5 years. You then get to learn a new package, take a new class, and figure out how to get 6 years experience in something just out for 6 months. FUN!
whatever happened to ivy league temp and endofesq.com?
