Saturday 2L Texas Pre-Recruiting Update A student messaged me asking if all 2L jobs have been filled. NO! Yes, some firms do have offers out. I spoke to 2 Houston firms Friday that have 2L summer offers extended. It's important to note that the firms are at different stages of their recruitment process. Some are actively interviewing, and one large firm, in particular, has yet to start screeners. From what I'm seeing, students in the top 15% were actively interviewing at TX firms this week. A few have offers, but most don't. Some had screeners, while others had calls back. It's a long process! Hang in there, students! Keep applying, keep interviewing, and something will land soon! I promise!

I'm speechless for the first time in my life! Thank you, LinkedIn, for the outpouring of support on Tuesday. Wow, I felt the LI love! As I scrolled through the 400-plus likes and comments, I got emotional. Why? Seeing your names. Names of law students I helped during OCI. Names of associates that I had coffee with but decided to stay put. Names of associates I've moved to new firms over the past seven years. A handful of names of partners that I placed as associates who have now grown into new roles! There were so many names of internal law firm recruiting coordinators, managers, and directors. I rely on all of you daily to make my world run! Names of too many fantastic NALSC recruiters that I've met over the years. Names of family, high school friends, New Orleans friends, mom friends, and therapist friends who supported me in going out on my own. Most importantly, the names of my support team who helped me get open in a very rushed timeframe! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
