Too young for firms? Forum

[Anonymous User]

OP: do you have any significant work experience while you were in school?

Also young; but I was able to use a management position in food service to show that I was comfortable working with people older than me. Seemed to help.

As other posters have said, just put the year you graduated in; don't bring it up unless asked; and don't be embarrassed by it if they do.

Age itself isn't a maker or breaker, I think, but lack of WE just makes grades that much more important. But I guess they can do whatever they want to youngins', only old folks are a federally protected class.

Wow you resurrected an old thread, but while it's at the top I'll add my two cents since I'm sure it's still relevant to 0Ls, 1Ls and others.
I don't think it's any worse than any other K-JD. I'll be 23 when I graduate, so slightly older, but no one asked during OCI or at a callback. When I did happen to mention it, interviewers either didn't care or were marginally impressed. I have a V100 SA lined up for the summer which is about what I would have expected with my GPA/school/Law Review.
