[quote=Anonymous]Sad to say I agree with PPs that you should try to get the firm you are working at now to hire you.  Big law firms have already hired the folks from your class that they are going to hire.  If you want to do "Big Law" you are going to have to come in through some route other than getting hired straight out of law school.  Have you worked at firms for the summer and if so did they give you an offer?

Look at smaller firms that will give you some expertise in something from working there and then you might have the ability to move into a bigger firm at some point if you are very successful or if you do a stint in gov. or in-house that is valuable.  None of your "unconventional" strategies is going to work and you run the risk of people thinking you are crazy.  Nothing is more convention driven than big law firm hiring and nothing you said in your post suggests any reason why a firm would want to hire you over all the other folks out there who want those jobs.  I would focus on getting a job that will give you legal experience and then go from there.
