[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is your degree/clerkship recent enough that you are still eligible for PMF, honors attorney, and other government entry programs? (yes, they are competitive)

Have you looked at state and local government? 
Local small firms? State bar or similar organizations who hire lawyers on staff? 
Called your school's placement office? [/quote]

If an honors attorney position is possible, I'd jump all over it.  Have you looked at the US Postal Service?  They don't advertise on USA Jobs, but they tend to hire often.  I'd also call your school's placement office and see if you can get a government contact at a place you're interested in (you haven't listed your practice area?).  DOJ isn't the only game in government, especially if what you're looking for is a job that is fulfilling but also gives you time to spend with your family.  Having gov contacts can help you hear about possible job openings before they happen, and how to put yourself in the best position to be hired.  [/quote]
