I hope others provide their opinions but in my experience, having been involved in the screening and hiring for a smaller firm, it annoyed me when people dropped in. Sorry :-/

I wouldn't go door to door trying to drop off resumes for various reasons. Apply online. Also consider doing temp work to gain some experience.

I think you should enter a firm as a receptionist, or in a role youre qualified for. They require experience, it is what it is.

Yeah, not even McDonald’s wants folks dropping by to fill out job apps. Almost everywhere prefers it online, unless they don’t have an online presence.

Don’t do that. Better to cold email or start with a temp agency and look for temp-to-hire to get your foot in the door

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

I am a new (lateral) associate at a small firm where everyone currently works from the office. When I started, I wasn’t told specific firm hours. I’ve tried to figure out when to come and go based upon when the partners arrive and leave, but their schedules are very inconsistent. The other associates don’t have helpful guidance for me. Assuming that if I ask the partners they’ll say to use my discretion, what are reasonable hours to keep?
