Yikes this is true! Of the 100+ Craigslist posts I've replied to, I have only heard back on two occasions, both of which landed me an interview but no offer. Slim pickings.

This is so familiar. I am ashamed to admit I emailed my resume to more than one questionable Craigslist posting in the vain hope that it was a legitimate job opportunity. I am convinced this is an efficient way for axe murderers to collect my name, address, and contact information, so I've since discontinued the practice. Good luck with your job search.

Hey don't diss “Man dates”! This is New York. If you are reasonably good looking, try flirting with the guy. It should help you 25-40% of the time in this city. Milk the bromance/metosexual angle for all it's worth.

I actually used to teach Kaplan LSAT prep and loved it. I could probably always go back but the decent pay comes per class hour and right now, as a member of the 405 club, it just doesn't make economic sense. But it would be something to consider in the future if things don't look up. Thanks for the thought!

You must have done well on the LSAT if you went to an Ivy League law school. Have you considered teaching or tutoring the LSAT, at least part time, while you look for steady legal work?

An anonymous tipster e-mailed me:

“the secretary that sent you her resume in response to your ad is doing the right thing. Randomness works and gets jobs … Forward me her resume and I'll contact a few secretarial agencies I worked with in the past (we used a lot of temp help at my old firm) to help her.”

Glad to help someone with my post! Good luck! If she does get placed it should make a heck of a story!

Would love something like that, very tough to get a position in legal academic without a 4.0 or a PHD... I even applied to the Concord Law School (http://www.concordlawschool.edu/), as I have been applying to these types of positions as they arise.
