Screaming Bean
Tuesday, August 15, 2006

I was recently perusing the job posting for alumni at my school's website. Most of them require Bar admission, but some of them are willing to take a look at those of us who haven't passed but just might. Those are the ones I try to jump on. One new one sounded sort of interesting, and I have the background to do the job. I go to submit my resume and cover letter, only to find out they want a writing sample and transcript...for a job that pays $30K. 30K! I make that as a temp. Secretaries make more. Trained paralegals...considerably more. I realize they'd be taking on a freshly minted lawyer, but gimme a break here! It's not even a not-for-profit, it's a law firm. Incredulous doesn't begin to describe it. I'm not submitting my transcript for that. Never mind I wouldn't get the interview anyway based just on the transcript. Still, I just feel gobsmacked. What's this world coming to?
