Looking for advice. I have 2 years of in-house experience and I went into in-house right after law school. My husband was offered his dream job position with a company in CA and I moved to CA from NY. At that point, my then employer had offered to keep me on as a contract attorney, but 2 months went by and they now have rescinded that offer. I am applying to jobs, but so far not a single interview. Am I doomed? Other than LinkedIn, continued…

Sending you some good vibes! Hope you land something soon!

The CA voluntary bar associations are pretty active and a good networking opportunity. Look for in-house sections and connect with folks!

Continued….. other than LinkedIn, where do I look for in-house positions? I am in Southern California region. Since I don’t have CA license, I only quality for in-house jobs. I have applied to a lot and I am starting to lose hope.

I worked for a health group that had multiple primary care/urgent care centers and hospitals. I worked on a wide range of healthcare transactional matters, corporate governance, and commercial contracts.
I still have a great relationship with my previous general counsel who is willing to provide a recommendation.

If anyone has any leads on where to look for in-house jobs, I would really appreciate it.

If you speak any other language than English, I would suggest looking into Immigration law jobs. You don't need a CA license to practice immigration. Also, you don't need CA license for fed jobs. Theres a ton of fed arty jobs in Southern CA. The main districts are Central and South if you are looking at AUSAs. I apologize if you already know this.
