For about a month and a half now I have been job hunting, using people I know to find openings at their jobs, a few placement agencies, and the job websites (monster, careerbuilder). I know I can't simply walk into a job given I dont have a lot of experience (2+ yrs as a law clerk at various firms, and some years in food, retail, etc), but I feel like this process is a crapshoot.

They say to cast your net wide, but maybe mine is too wide. Having recently graduated law school and knowing that though I wouldn't mind working as a lawyer (should I pass the CA Bar) to pay off student loans, its not a job I want to do forever. Fields that interest me are teaching (highschool to community college), contracts and compliance. I also know I simply can't pick and choose the industry I desire to work in and there is a great chance I won't like my first couple of post-graduation jobs.

I am wondering what job searching tips the TA community found useful in their hunt for current and prospective jobs.

I dunno dude. I'm pretty much awesome and have always just gotten whatever job I walked into. Literally.

Begs the question, why did you did Law if you want to teach?

One corner at a time?



Commit to getting a job that will make you money 100%. Any hint of a lack of commitment and you'll not get it.

I said walked into, not laid down for.

Good call, I don't think jenny's ever gotten a job that she's laid down for.

To be fair though Jennie, you have never had to find a job in an economic time such as this in California. It is fucking shit. When you have 200 people applying for some shitty 4 positions at a grocery store, they don't just hire someone on the spot.

Uh, it's happening here as well.

Awesome people don't have to worry about such things.
