It feels like no one is actually hiring, I have submitted my resume to so many offices and I’ve completely several job applications with no response back. I just want to work in the criminal law field whether that be a criminal researcher, gathering/examining evidence for trials/investigations, paralegal for the prosecutors office/ public defenders office or a victim advocate, but I can seem to find an opening anywhere. Someone please help and lend me some advice 🙏

The job market is not great right now. There are lots of people applying for each job posting, so just because you aren't hearing back doesn't mean they aren't hiring (although some just seem to ghost post). Only thing you can do is keep applying!

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.
