2L Job Search Thread
Just wanted a place for all of us to talk and ask small questions regarding OCI, Mass Mailing, Non-Firm job searches, etc. Stuff that you don't want to create a whole new thread for.
Plus the 1L job search thread was fun, so let's do it again.

Re: 2L Job Search Thread
Has anyone started mass mailing yet? I'm anxious to get started, but I'm guessing anything sent before July 5th is going to be a waste.

Anyone know if it's okay to put an email address on the top of my cover letter if I don't have a local address yet?

I've been mass mailing and having some good results. Earliest callback scheduled for a couple weeks from now. I don't think it's too early - I'm using journal notices as an excuse to follow up on my applications.

What size of the firms that got back to you? And which kind of market are you in? Thanks.piccolittle wrote:I've been mass mailing and having some good results.

West coast market, the interviews I have so far are V10 satellite offices. The others seem a bit slower but it is super early.Anonymous User wrote:What size of the firms that got back to you?

Re: 2L Job Search Thread
Enrages me to no end when I notice a mistake in my email/cover letter after I sent it... so far I've only mailed the mistakes to 2 firms though, and they aren't too promising of firms, so NBD (hopefully).
ETA: Anyone else notice it's really hard to sell yourself as a transactional associate? Every LS experience is just so litigation geared. I drafted one litigation CL as a backup and it's 100000x easier to write. My transactional cover letters just look like rambling garbage.

Re: 2L Job Search Thread
When is a good time to start applying to non-OCI firms in DC and NYC? I'm in NYC until the beginning of August, (when I return to my far-away school) and thought I could use my proximity to do some early interviews. Problem is I didn't realize journal notifications would take SO long...I should know by the second week of July latest. I'm guessing that waiting until then would remove any location advantage? Also, what's the deal with applying to mid-sized firms in these markets? Any help is much appreciated!

Re: 2L Job Search Thread
Similar question. I'm in DC and wanted to apply to some firms here. We don't find out about journals until the 3rd week of July or so. If I do apply now, how would I update about journals (if I get on one, knock on wood)- just send an email with an updated resume that has a line for the journal?bigredforlaw wrote:When is a good time to start applying to non-OCI firms in DC and NYC?

Re: 2L Job Search Thread
Is it appropriate to be mailing government/public interest orgs this early? Or should I wait til next week to start?
