Hi everyone. I graduated from a T25 during the recession, and almost everyone who had offers in my class got deferred or had their offers rescinded. I didn't get any sort of law job after graduation. In fact, it took me a REALLY long time to find any job at all - ended up getting by doing some doc review work and some freelance writing gigs, etc. I send out a crazy amount of resumes for jobs (some even min. wage) and still can't find anything full-time.
I'd really like to practice law (I definitely enjoy the work). At this point, I don't really care what kind / where - I'd just like a stable job that offers some benefits. I'd be happy to make more than 30k. Does anyone have any tips on how to find a law job this long after graduation? I've tried mass-mailing my resume, but that hasn't worked. Has my time just passed?
I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.
