Fiancé got sworn in a couple of weeks ago and doesn’t have a job. He is applying to places and has decided that while he’s waiting to get a legal job, he wants a to take up another job. Think: at chipotle, papa John’s, five Guys, etc. I appreciate that he wants to earn money, but part of me feels like there are other kinds of temporary work he could do other than fast food and that he’s not being resourceful.

It’s not a great idea because those jobs are really inflexible. He won’t be able to step away randomly for an interview, which really needs to be the focus.

Can he get a document review job? There are tons on LinkedIn.

There’s no shame in hustling and working in an entry-level job to make ends meet. It’s not so easy to quickly find a temp, non-legal job.

If he can afford to wait, he can do that, too. What kind of job do you think could be better at this time?

Throwing my hat behind what A5 said as well. I've seen many women derailed by this. Let him figure himself out jobwise, and since he actually has the free time now, he should be taking over a larger part of the homemaking since you both live there. If his attitude during this period is less than desirable, that is a strong indicator of how it's going to be during marriage, and even worse if kids ever enter the picture.

What about legal contract work? Maybe with a company like Axiom.

like

I have 4.5yrs of experience, 2.5 litigation and 2 of transactional in house, and have never received a callback from Axiom. I’ve applied to 50+ that I met the qualifications for. Doesn’t hurt to try though!

As an update, he’s landed a legal position — at a PD office as an assistant PD, which is work that he wants to do. Phew! Thanks, everyone, for your support!!!

If he picks a company with headquarters nearby, it may be a great networking opportunity. I used to work for Chipotle’s headquarters and we used to hire store-level employees regularly.

Working as a law clerk or paralegal is a great way to get your foot in the door and learn legal procedure - has he tried finding those types of jobs?

like

Has he tried 1) perusing his local state Bar website for jobs? Or 2) calling around to the local Public Defender and Prosecutor offices? They're usually hiring and great for networking and trial experience 🙂
Also, a lot of state and city Bar associations hold new lawyer events and networking meet and greets along with the networking that happens naturally during an in-person CLE...
