The posting

For almost 50 years, Bet Tzedek Legal Services has provided high-quality, free legal services to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents. The Homeowner Protection team continues Bet Tzedek’s history of real estate and economic justice work. The team focuses on protecting homeowners at risk of losing ownership or equity to their homes to promote housing stability and preserve intergenerational wealth and stability in Los Angeles’s highest need communities. The team also assists homeowners in navigating ongoing disaster recovery efforts related to the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, and in building community resiliency for future disasters.

Bet Tzedek seeks a passionate and resourceful attorney to join our team on a temporary basis to protect home ownership and equity through a combination of direct representation, policy advocacy, and education and outreach efforts.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
