Late 1L for summer search. help!

[Anonymous User]

hey all

so unlike a good amount of u who already had their stuff together by earlier in the semester, im hustling now to get unto the 1L job search.

1) when i hear mass mailings, are a lot of you doing actual snail mails? I assume this is mostly for judges right? for government agencies and firms dont we mostly do it through symplicity?

2) when firms ask for "unofficial transcript" i assumed it was fall semester grades but i read someomeone mentioning undergrad transcripts, which is it?

3) some places require "referrals", i guess recommendations. do most reputable agencies/firms require such things?

any advice from everyone would be appreciated. thank you all.
