Message Name: Unemployed J.D. ; doesn't want to practice law
Date Posted: 11/26/2006
Message: I'm a recent J.D. grad with three years' experience in back office finance, living in the NYC area. I decided not to practice law, and now it seems that my background is of no interest to employers. I've been applying for a variety of jobs all day, every day for months now, and haven't received a single request for more information/callback/interview of any kind. I'm not even getting any responses for the temporary positions I apply for. Any advice or similar experiences would be much appreciated-- it seems unlikely that the current job market is this tight, and I'm wondering why I'm falling short.
