Friends, I’m tired. I’m so sick of networking just to hear that xyz firm isn’t hiring. I know that it’s still worth it. I have made some connections at firms who told me to reach out to them whenever there is an opening. But damn, it was supposed to be cake getting a job out of a clerkship. End rant.

Echoing your frustrations!!! I'm clerking at the SDNY and everyone told me it would be so easy to get a firm job afterwards. Not true for me at all.
I've been job searching for 4 months now, sent out dozens of applications, and still nothing.

Clerkship recruitment is unique. Don’t lose hope. I had a similarly frustrating experience but ended up in an amazing spot. I know many others who did the same. What market are you focusing on? Any pre-clerking experience? How long have you clerked? A3 judge, MJ, BK, or state?

I’ve been at my clerkship for 5 years (4 with a different judge) and one with my current judge, and I heard horrible things about him before starting, but I assumed they were exaggerated. Turns out they’re all true, and I’ve had to start therapy to deal with him and the incredibly toxic environment. I’m trying to get out ASAP b/c he also has a history of firing clerks without cause or notice, but I think I’ll only be able to give two weeks notice if i get the job I’m interviewing for. Thoughts?

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
