So if I get hired by a firm, do they usually, at some point in the process, ask you to list all legal employment? I ask because last year, I took a law clerk job, worked for two days, then switched to a better place. What do I do in this situation?

why does it matter?

just was wondering if it is for conflicts, after you're already hired, or if its something they check(i.e., lets call this dude who our employee worked with for 2 days to a week) before they finalize the offer. Just, I dont know how happy the other guy was with me quitting after 2 days, although I tried to be nice about it. I still have to figure out whether I need to get his signature for my bar application (ny) have heard different things.

No. Don't list on your resume.

Don't list on resume, but do list on conflicts check form.

Thanks guys, thats quite helpful. Now, since I'm in NY, I need to know if I have to go see these people again to sign my bar application. That would be pretty annoying/uncomfortable.

you can probably call the ny bar but i think you're overthinking this a lot. if the bar sends them something it's probably just getting stamped by hr. unless you took a shit on your bosses desk on the way out i doubt anyone cares about you
