Employment before Law School
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2016 9:28 pm
I'm a 0L who will be going to a T14 school next year. My resume is weak. I've already graduated, but have only worked pretty unprofessional employment. Retail/ Part-time jobs. Nothing impressive at all. My question is do I need to or would it be advantageous to do some sort of work right now for the sake of my resume. Basically, is it going to look really bad when I apply for jobs my 1L summer or does everyone (with ok grades) from a T14 find some gainful employment.
I'd only be able to grab a small firm internship or something like that, but would just the ability to say I have some experience/interest in the law substantially aid my application. Or does that stuff only matter for applications to law school? I would think being enrolled in a law school should be enough.
