Hi! You don't know me so you can take my input with a grain of salt.

First off, congratulations on graduating law school. I'm starting law school in September and would love to hear about your experience.

Second, looking for jobs always sucks. It can be demeaning and demoralizing. Nothing feels worse than sending out a jillion resume's and not hearing a single word back from anyone. Runner up to that feeling is getting a form letter back saying Thanks, but No Thanks. And then there's the feeling you get when you go in for and interview and then get called back for a second and then a third and just when you're feeling like you've got the gig, again, Thanks, but No Thanks.

My advice is just like everyone else's - keep at it, don't take the rejection personally, and don't be afraid to decline any offers you don't feel good about. Along that line, stay optimistic and always keep in mind the worth and value you bring to the table.

Good luck!
