I’ve moved jobs quite a bit. A lot of shorter stints on my resume (I because I got married and moved, then moved after having a child, and a few because I had better opportunities and I graduated in a bad market. Now I’m looking for a permanent role but it’s not looking good on my resume. Any advice? Or is this a generational thing where older attorneys think you should be at the same firm your whole career?

I don't know that it's necessarily you/your resume. I think it's the economy. I've been hearing from friends that work is drying up and hiring is slowing down.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
