Definitely jealous of my classmates with offers that are raking in some dough right now while I scour the internet, newspapers, and attorneys I know for a job.
I am unsure if I will post much on the job hunt, but I imagine that could be helpful to some future bar exam takers/job seekers.
I have had a couple of bar exam dreams -- both concerned taking the bar exam and not learning of results or preparing. In both, I can't say my dream self performed well, considering all of the dream-created obstacles I had to ovecome in order to even sit down and answer (oh hello, Mr. Evil Guy trying to kill me from outer space, I'll hide in the bathroom or by sit casually by the water cooler while you look for me).
I keep rethinking things, wondering if there are issues I think I missed that I actually got, wondering if I brought up counter arguments/defenses enough...wondering if I used enough facts. Hoping that the only people that don't pass are ones that fail to answer an entire essay...but I know that is not true.
Anyway...back to slaying another dragon...unemployment. Le sigh.
Good luck with your search! I was in this position before the bar. My husband and I decided to move to Texas so my post-2L summer job meant nothing since it was in California. I sent my resume to about 40 firms and two responded. Be persistent! =)
