Done, done (again!)

The NY July 2011 Bar Exam is over! Whew. Not that I spent too much time studying, but still, it was a pretty intense cram time this past week.

Now let's talk job updates.  My oh my, it's been a while since May. I have received a few more rejections (mostly from unsolicited applications I sent out) in the mail since. I have also interviewed a few times. All I can remember now are interviews I did in Long Island, NY, downtown Manhattan, Milwaukee (by phone), Los Angeles (by phone). Last week, I interviewed for a Los Angeles firm at their NJ office and another Los Angeles firm (by phone). Tomorrow, I am interviewing in midtown Manhattan firm. To be honest, I am amazed that there are still trickles of interest coming in. I haven't been diligent sending out applications because after May, I've lost interest, and companies have likewise lost interest in me (generally), presumably because of my long-term unemployment. (The longer I stay unemployed, the harder it is to find a job. Argh!) I am truly thankful for any opportunities that miraculously come my way.

My applications to the LA firms seem to be advancing. One firm is currently checking my references, while I am on 2nd round of interview in the other. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I want to write some more about how my job search is going, but my brain is mush. I can't seem to articulate my thoughts well. I'll stop here, before I reread this thing tomorrow and tell myself, "wow, you write crap."

Hope lives! Ad maiorem Dei gloriam!
