Six months after graduation with no job in sight – what now?
Feeling hopeless and depressed. Graduated middle of my class at a well-respected regional school and admitted to the state bar, but I’m struggling to even find jobs to apply to. All these advice posts I see say to take advantage of your network, but I don’t think I left a lasting impression on any previous professors or supervisors, at least enough to get a referral. I’ve been looking at LinkedIn and job posting boards every day and there’s barely any jobs for attorneys with no post-law school experience yet.
All the advice posts says to apply for local government jobs, document review jobs, compliance jobs, JD advantage jobs, but I’m genuinely seeing none in my city. Where should I be looking? At what point do I give up and move on to some other career?
