[quote=Anonymous]I was an attorney and a recruiter at a staffing angry for temp attorneys. It is difficult to move on from here but definitely not impossible, many of our attorneys found full time work elsewhere. He can network as much as he can - meet law school friends for coffee, contact his law school alumni office, go to CLEs. He should also think outside the box and apply to jobs that aren't traditionally legal. At this point any sort of substantive experience is better than doc review, even if he isn't as interested in that field. A couple of years in another job and he can try to move back into more traditional legal work. If you can afford it, he could take a little time off between projects and do as many informational interviews as possible (coffee with friends, ask them to introduce him to other people so he can pick their brain about a career in XYZ). My husband is still at the firm he started with and often tries to help friends by introducing them to others.

Best of luck to him![/quote]
