I've been unemployed 8 months now. How long before (if not already) I become completely unemployable as an attorney?

Why don't you just go over to the local small law office and ask to do intake a few hours a week to alleviate some boredom. You might get some little courtroom things as a result (which might be a new thing for you), and possibly an entry-level atty job offer too (which you don't have to take, after all), but most importantly, you'll be moving forward and getting some experience rather than just sitting still. Plus, seeing all the hardup cases might help your perspective and lighten your mood some.

B) Start doing wills and real estate closings. Don't know how? Pick up the Nolo book on it, bro or work with a shitlaw guy for a year or two like napoleone said.

Huge amounts of atty's are instantly disqualified for arrests when they were like 19.

About 10 interviewees/position. About 100 resumes. Not terrible odds, esp if you're military friendly (dem or republican). A lot of lawyers are *HUGZ 4 TERORISM* douchebags, too, and are instantly disqualified.

2) Somewhere in between compliance and a contract attorney. Garden-variety bureacrats, legal services side of things, but not generally attorneys. It'll pay better than anything else you'll find. TBF you probably won't be competitive enough for an att'y job due to all the out of work attorneys. You can probably spin it as a legal job down the road.

According to Uncle Sam - Cooley + 3yrs exp > T6 + 0 exp

You probably won't get DoJ Honors. Many DoJ att'y positions are excepted service and are often not even listed.

There are some AUSA positions, but you will likely have to relocate for any that you could actually get. In metro areas, the positions tend to be highly competitve.

Apply anyway. It's free.

I'm trying to clerk but the pickings are starting to look slim. I haven't even heard back from SSC positions. And my firm cold-offered me.

Look at everything GS-9 and up.

Like I said, if you don't hate America, and swallow your pride at working for a less prestigious agency, you can find a pretty decent job.

I got my job off of there, fwiw. So did some other posters. It's legit. A lot of aspie america-hating poasters like to complain when they don't find a job after writing their application in crayon and denouncing blacks and age of consent laws in their interviews.

Did you upload supporting documentation? Call to confirm receipt? They lose shit all the time at OPM. They're pretty incompetent.

Are you just applying for atty jobs? Or other legal services, too?

Check for jobs in your state and municipal gov't too.

Oh also, FBI is hiring a shitload of people. If you can pass the physical and the polygraph, apply for that. They love lawyers.

I would very gladly swallow my pride. I never expected to be doing this out of my T6, but here I am. Thanks, ITE.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412919&forum_id=2#15970660)

FBI is hiring too, but check the physical requirements and how long they're in Quantico now.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412919&forum_id=2#15970246)

I'd hurry.
