Headunters do not generally deal with entry-level candidates in any profession or sector - there's no $$ in it for them.
Legal firms recruit newbies from on-campus recruitment efforts where they get them free (well, relatively free).
Monster.com has over 1,000 legal jobs posted right now. I looked at a couple of them and they all called for experience, 6 months was the least exp. I saw.
Do you want a legal firm or corporate environment? What area of the law are you interested in? Have you passed the bar?

Hello there!
Thank you very much for the information you provided! I will browse through monster.com immediately.
Answering your questions, I am interested in international business and trade law. I am licensed to practice in another country as I obtained my JD there.
In the United States I am not licensed yet, I have just finished my LL.M.
I intend to take the bar exam in NY as it seems to be one of the only states that allows foreign lawyers like me to take the exam.
I need work experience so to be honest at the moment I would work either in a law firm or in another place.
My only prefernce is regarding the kind of work I will be doing, as I really prefer to be acting on international business matters ( I speak 4 languages so I would like to take advantage of that!)
Thank you for your interest and your help!! Enjoy the rest of the week!!
Bye bye!
