[quote=Anonymous]OP - Wow! Thanks for the responses, everyone. This is such an active community with a lot of great advice.

A lot of you asked what I have been up to since graduation. From May through the end of July I studied for the VA bar full time and really hit the pavement with job applications as soon as that was over. With the exception of some travel during the holidays my life has revolved around networking, applying to jobs, and interviewing. I did a freelance web design project in January. For a while I was trying to find pro bono cases, but I was turned away by the DC Bar's Pro Bono Program and that sort of crushed my morale.

I'm lucky to have great parents who have agreed to help me out financially if I take the law clerk position as long as I keep applying to paid positions, so I will likely commit to that opportunity.

Some posters thought I may have aimed too high at first. While that may be true, there's no going back to OCI so I try not to dwell on it. My goal was to work at a large firm and obviously that did not work out. I am just hoping that I can turn my "clerkship" into something that will provide opportunities to grow my legal career.[/quote]
