[quote=Anonymous]Headhunters do not work with law students or recent grads. No one will pay them any money to "hunt" for you because you are not a hard-to-find commodity. First year associates with mediocre grades from mediocre law schools are a dime a dozen. Recruiters work from the open job, not from the candidate. Ditto what PP said re. the law firm stalking. No one will be impressed. In fact, that will ensure that you NEVER work at that firm. The truth is, this train has left the station and you have to get on the bus. If BigLaw is your dream, your only shot is to to work at a smaller firm and develop a substantial book of business. Alternatively, you could develop expertise in a niche area in the government and then cycle back in, but even that is a tough road without book. Or you can go back to school and get a master's in electrical engineering or computer science and sit for the patent bar. [/quote]
