Jason, thanks a lot for the words (you too Carol)! It really
stinks doesn't it. I set up an interview but was afraid a bit of
how to pose the question when I called places. The interview I
set up was through a temp to permanent legal placement agency. If
I get interviewed by the law firm they suggest it starts within
the salary range that I had hoped for but I have to start
contract (hourly) then salary.

So things are looking up since I last posted, but still up in the
air. You know I think they should start doing a residency or
automatic internship type thing that would be nice knowing that
someone got to sample your hard work first, but when you go out
with a resume reflecting less than stellar legal "Stats" I don't
care what they say it matters to them. Every ad or "career
builder" posting I have seen says either "top __% of the class"
or "need attorney with 2-6 years of exp." And anyway if they care
so little then why do they want the freaking class rank on there.

Just frustrated out loud lol

take it easy;)
