Quote from: TheDudeMan on March 24, 2009, 09:25:01 AMI don't buy that. YLS students are never going to struggle to find work. It's self-selection. My guess is most YLS feel they are entitled to top vault firms and that's it. Most probably don't even look at those outside the Vault 100.If a YLS student contacted a mid-size, market paying firm, they'd jump all over them. At the end of the day, law firms view lawyers as marketing tools. YLS' JD carries a strong marketing pitch with it. Your explanation sounds plausible and since I am not looking over people's shoulders to see what firms they are applying to, you could be right. The person I'm closest to in this situation, however, is looking in a specific market and is having difficulty finding a job. But to qualm my own insecurities, do you think if a YLS student got an offer revoked because of the economy, he/she would have much trouble finding a firm job in a secondary market (South Carolina, NC, Georgia, etc)?

I am a current client of firstlawjob.com and have been extremely happy with the results so far. I am so boggled down with class work however my counselor has been in contact with me weekly and I have gone on 4 interviews in the last 3 weeks. I can’t wait for the studying to end!!
