looking for a job........

#17
I'm in the same boat as you, except I'm in business. It seems as if everyone else has nice internships lined up for the summer and I'm the odd one out! Which freaks me out because I NEED an internship this summer or I will NOT get a job next year. I have to get work experience. :sad2:

Yes pounding the pavement is hard and knowing that your resume may not make it to the right person is even harder. I manage an office and sometimes 2 1/2 months isn't as long as it seems.;)

Remember its not that there isn't an internship for you out there its just that the perfect position hasn't found you yet! I believe everything happens for a reason, take a breath, and keep trying!

It can be tough as a 1L, I had some luck with some school-sponsored job fairs. I also had classmates who worked for professors. I worked for a non-profit legal org, it was a great experience and very solid for my resume, by 2l summer I had 12 offers for summer associate positions. Good luck!

1L is a tough year so hang in there. It gets a little easier during your 2nd and 3rd year. I couldn't find a summer internship at a nice law firm during my 1st year so I ended up working for the PD office. I hate it but at least I have something to show for on my resume. So keep applying and don't forget to apply for your backups such as DA/PD internships. Judicial clerkships look really nice on the resume too! Good luck and I'm sure you'll do well.

Have you heard of this old saying in law school?
"1st year, they (prof) scare you too death."
"2nd year, they work you too death."
"3rd year, they bored you too death."

Good luck! I'm graduating from college in the Spring and am looking for a summer job that'll give me experience 'in the field' as they say. Such a glamorous job...Gypsy Moth Trapper :lol: If I don't get hired for that one I'll have to look at Mosquito control :sick:
I'm sure you'll land an awesome internship
