Get a job. What do you expect people to tell you? Searching for a job sucks and it will probably be hard, but you do all the things you need to do to get a job - send out resumes, look for jobs, and NETWORK. If you're from the area, you should know some lawyers. Everyone knows lawyers or, at the very least, knows people who know lawyers. Talk to these lawyers. Ask them if they know of anyone who's hiring. Ask them if they have any bright ideas about how you can get a job. Go to where lawyers hang out (for example, bar association events) and talk to lawyers there. It's really not rocket science, it just sucks. You might not end up with the job you want either, but you'll end up with a job and that's a start.
