[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 689057, member: 5473"] Hi, Mistwell. This was the response from my attorney friend in L.A. about job opportunites. The private sector doesn't sound very promising, but many there are some opportunities in the public sector. I hope it helps, and again, the best of luck to you and your family. *** "I don't know of very many non-governmental places that are actively hiring. The private practice market is a bit scarce now -- large firms are closing up shop, and merging with other firms. Indeed, our office is nearly full-up. My suggestion, however, is for him to look at perhaps the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office (if he wants to do governmental work). There's also job listings for other federal posts on the Department of Justice's website ([url]www.usdoj.gov[/url]). That's one place to start. State government jobs have a longer lead-time, as you need to take a "placement test" (basically, you bubble in your resume on a scantron form) and there's a set rotation of "open periods" where they accept applicants. Privately, I'm not really sure, other than the cold letters or having him call people at various firms." [/QUOTE]
