OCI Strike Out; Apply Now or Wait for Resume Boost?

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Mar 18, 2021 2:57 am

Roughly median at CCN and struck out at 2L OCI. I wasn't on a journal nor did I have any significant moot court experience, but I do have a lot of work experience + clinic + judicial internship.

I've mass mailed a ton over the past month or so, but I decided to apply to journals, executive boards for a variety of extracurriculars, etc. to bolster my resume for 3L job searching.

Should I continue cold emailing people and applying to jobs via my career services portal, or should I wait until I get some more titles / a 3L journal spot to put on my resume before I continue applying? I'm sure most firms are full, but maybe a a stop is left somewhere...

Now. No one cares about journals and other extracurriculars.

Unless the title in question is EiC of the flagship law review, timing is more important
