I am so poor and desperate
Just finished taking the bar exam in July in NY. Am an American but foreign attorney. Have applied to an embarrassingly large amount of jobs. I fixed my resume 10 times, got it reviewed by a professional and am literally making it my job to apply to things. I literally tried everything…I only had two interviews and in the middle of one the lawyer told me she didn’t think I was good fit to be a legal assistant for her firm bc I was too overqualified and ended the interview after 15 minutes.
I’m at the point of messaging lawyers on LinkedIn. I can barely afford to eat dinner at this rate. I know that sounds dramatic and we’re all suffering but I’m not sure what to do. Does anyone have any tips/advice/leads?
I am looking into compliance, risk and conflicts as well as contract specialist roles.
I was about to walk into a retail store the other day for a job 😏
