[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting a policy job is highly competitive.  You are too experienced to be a research assistant, but may not have enough subject area expertise for higher level jobs.  Have you managed people?  This may be another area you're lacking.

If you want to do policy or lobbying work, how about do a stint on the Hill.  Then you can start looking for policy jobs as a former lawyer rather than a current lawyer.

BTW, for all the folks advocating that you do pro bono work.  I have worked with battered women in a social service delivery organization.  It is not all sunshine and roses and feeling good about yourself all day.  Their problems are overwhelming, frequently caused by their own poor decisionmaking, and they are typically bringing kids along for this terrible ride.  It is emotionally exhausting. [/quote]

I don't think anyone would disagree with that. But there's plenty of pro bono opportunities that could be low stress/rewarding. Think about estate planning/wills for seniors, or helping organize tenants to purchase their apartment building. [/quote]
