Any tips for gaining entry level experience as an attorney? I recently passed the bar exam on my sixth try, so there is a three year gap between graduation and passing the bar. I didn’t start my career in the legal field so other than an externship during 2L, I don’t have any legal experience.

While in bar prep I pretty much stopped networking so if there is anyone who has experienced anything similar I’d appreciate any tips to getting started.

I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(
