Are recruiters useful anymore for getting agency jobs? Or are all the agencies recruiting completely themselves?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Recruiters are fantastic. Unless you’ve been in the industry for years, have a good recruiter on your side opens doors. They have connections deeper than most could ever hope for and I have worked with recruiters that I trust implicitly. If you’re thinking of using a recruiter to find a job, do some scouting. Ask tough questions. Be honest with them. If they are good and actually want to find the right fit, you’ll know. But if it seems like they are just looking to get their commission, move on.

Ladies, I commend all of you who are pregnant and lawyering on the daily! I am 10 weeks pregnant and haven’t been working much since I left my firm in March. I tell my husband every day “IDK how anyone is pregnant and practicing law at the same time.” After a morning in court last month I was totally out of commission for the day. If you are still working as a lawyer full time and growing a human it is something to be proud of!
