I don’t know if this is exactly unhinged (though, maybe 😂), but after I struck out at OCI during the thick of Covid, I direct applied to just shy of 300 firms lol. End result of that was about 5 interviews and 2 offers, one of which was solid midlaw and I took. So I guess it paid off? But I thought I might lose my mind sending all those out. And then the rejections started rolling in. I once got 5 rejection emails in one day. 🤣 But I guess moral of the story is, persist! Haha.
I wasn’t successful - but I wanted to be a trademark attorney so I looked up celebrity’s trademarks on the USPTO websites and the firms that filed them and sent my resume to all of them. One in particular was the firm that did Blue Ivy Carter’s trademark - I thought it was genius because it was before she was born.
I cold-called firms like a boomer (“Hi, my name is [A1] and I’m a 2L at [Law School] interested in [field] looking for a summer position…”)
