Everything I've heard and seen says that you become unemployable the minute you start doing contract work. Again, no personal experience, but from everything I hear, if you do contract work, you should just kiss your chances of working in a firm of any sort of repute goodbye.policestate1234 wrote:Brah send out resumes and network
Otherwise, you'll probably have to wait until you get your bar results back before anyone will take a chance on you...think about maybe doing some contract work or work as a law clerk for a firm while you wait.
brah he ain't getting a job at a biglaw firm. That ship has sailed. Now is a time for him to get some experience cause he is in competition with a shitload of other people for the same type of jobs.Aqualibrium wrote:Everything I've heard and seen says that you become unemployable the minute you start doing contract work.
