Hi, KappaKittyCat!
As you know, I'm working on my job search out here in the Denver area. It's slow going. I think the hardest part right now is for me to stay optimistic ('cos who wants a pessimistic lawyer?). I'm new to the area and know very few people here. The market is tight and firms are slowing hiring. The big ones are even deferring their incoming classes a few months. The economy in the area is generally slower these days.
I'm trying to track down people who went to my law school and who have been around here for a while, in hopes that they can give me some leads and help orient me with the area. Meanwhile, I'm flinging resumes here and there, even though it's proven to be the least effective way to get a job, just in case it helps a bit.
It's frustrating, though, since a few years back these same credentials (BA from LU, JD from University of Minnesota with executive editorship of a specialty journal and a year in the law clinic) would have made it pretty easy to find a job. I'm hoping that by pouring in the effort to meet some people in the area, I can turn it into a process that won't be that hard, after all.
