Jobless T-14 Grad needs advice
I graduated in May from NU but I am still jobless. I've been pretty broad in my applications but have not had any interviews, and I've now began to apply for doc review jobs. I've been reaching out to alumni and other connections to try and grow my network but that has not produced results. Any advice would be appreciated.

What has career services told you? Have you exhausted their resources yet?
Feel like if you haven't had a single interview for *any* legal job in 4 months out of HYS (presumably you were applying earlier I guess) there might be issues with your resume or cover letter. But this is a weird time, so maybe not.

Have you applied to rural DA/PD/AG jobs? 2 years, 40 jury trials there and you can move on with your life with way more transferable skills than soc reciew.

This. Coming from either of HYS or NU, it will be assumed that this is the outcome you WANTED, and you'll still be able to wiggle yourselves into some seriously great outcomes with your pedigree.andythefir wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 5:32 pmHave you applied to rural DA/PD/AG jobs? 2 years, 40 jury trials there and you can move on with your life with way more transferable skills than soc reciew.

Re: Jobless T-14 Grad needs advice
My office (State Attorney General) is always looking for new blood in multiple sections, especially if you have those credentials. The pay isn't great, but you get an insane amount of experience in my section.Sackboy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 9:46 pmThis.

Re: Jobless T-14 Grad needs advice
Maybe look into shorter-notice or emergency judicial clerk positions? I don't know if that's an avenue you've already considered, but I used to see a few jobs on OSCAR that started only a month or two months out-- why not apply for those? The locations weren't awesome, usually, but no one evaluating your resume will look sideways at doing a clerkship.
