[quote=Anonymous]Look at Federal.  I know a Baltimore Law grad who was an attorney at GSA.  Maybe they have an opening.  I KNOW that they love this guy and won't look down on the school.  They also have lots of UVA grads, GW grads etc  so for those of you about to make snarky remarks, back off.

In general, cast a wide net and do not be choosy.  Small firms and big firms.  In house or government.  Keep your salary expectations low too.  Having a job will make life easier for getting another job.  Contract work is fine.  Document review is fine.  Lawyers know how tough it has become (I am one) and won't look down on your work.  And if you have to wait tables or do something "lesser" in the meantime, do it.  Don't appear to be too big for your britches and go into an interview and say "I don't have a job, I devote all my time to job hunting."  Anyone who has had a job, decided to move on, applied and moved on knows that is possible and normal to have a job while looking for a job.  If you are working (document review as a temp or part-time or retail/food) you look like someone who knows working is part of being an adult.  [/quote]
