Thoughts on applying + interviewing for jobs for the purpose to keeping tabs on the job market and to ensure I don’t loose my ability to interview. In todays world of lay-offs, I feel like it’s smart to keep myself engaged. But being a hiring manager myself, I can also see this as selfish and waste of the other parties time. Of course if a great opportunity comes of one of these interviews, I’d take it. Thoughts?

On one hand if you aren't looking and applying you never know what's out there there could be something better. The flip side to that is increased anxiety about potentially creating a look for something better mindset. It could also create a weird reputation, of interviewing but not accepting. Try networking in different ways! You can always practice interviewing when it's necessary.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

Preparing for my final round case interview and I’ve realized that whereas prior to the first round I was pretty comfortable with casing, now I’m less and less so since I’m increasingly anxious that I could not come up with the right buckets. I’m also doing more untraditional cases at times which makes me feel like I’m not performing that well. Has anyone experienced similar things? How did you cope with it/What’s your advice? Many thanks in advance since I’m now a ball of stress 😩😩

Hello all,
I have given interview on 19th Nov 2022 and the same day, I received an email to upload some documents. Can someone tell me how much it would it take to move to the next step in the recruitment?.
The portal shows "Review in progress." Any input on this will be appreciated 🙂

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.
