I'm growing frustrated. I have no idea how I'm going to get a job, because this is getting god damn ridiculous. Someone interview me....please! Here's the deal. I feel that my interviewing skills back in, say, October or November were on point. I had just passed the bar, the law was still fresh in my mind, and let's face it, my self-esteem is generally too high. I was indestructible. Flash forward to 3 months after receiving my bar results, 6 months after taking the bar, and 8 months after graduating from law school... and I am beaten down. My confidence is lacking, I'm sick of being ignored by every single firm I send my resume to. I've been to 4 legal temp agencies and filled with false promises, only to still be waiting for some form of work. "There's plenty of staffing opportunities for you." "I staffed 200 people in the last two weeks, it's been mad in here!" "I wont be surprised if you get a job by next week." Lies. All of 'em, lies. And then for the firms that post false ads: I spent a good 30+ minutes tailoring my resume and cover letter for each firm before I apply. So it should come as no surprise how frustrating it is when I receive a standard email back within the hour stating that the position (which was posted on Craigslist yesterday!) has already been filled. Come on!
Someone. Hire me. Please. I wont let you down. And more importantly, I wont let me down.
