If you are a typical law graduate, you will probably apply to several openings before you find your first real job . . . perhaps “several” is an understatement. After law school, I applied to more than 30 positions before I found the right firm for me.
The key to finding the right job for you without undue stress, is to stay as organized as possible. A spreadsheet to keep track of the positions you’ve applied to, the requisite application materials to send, the date(s) you apply, and many other things should be included in your personal organizational spreadsheet.

Last but not least: if you find this tool helpful, pass it on to a friend…just make sure they know to subscribe to continue receiving post graduate job hunting tips, tools and resources.
