Last week, after putting out a measly two resumes, I got a call back to interview at a labour and employment law firm. To say I was surprised is an understatement--I was blown away. But I knew I had no shot at this position and so I resolved to look at the interview as great practice for later. Later, in a few months, when I had put out fifty or so resumes and done tons of groundwork. But not now, not this quickly. I think you can see where this is going...
After a wacky, wonderful, perplexing interview, I now have a post-law school job! Better still, its just the most sublime combination of all the elements of law I most wanted to pursue (human rights, women's equality) to the forums I most want to pursue (a mix of court appearances and mediation/arbitration) in the location I most wanted to work in (downtown, close to the water). And now, it's set. I have a job lined up! I just cannot believe my good fortune! I have been feeling "in flux" as of late and its helped me to embrace the change.
So, Tales of Law and Love takes a turn towards real law soon! I think it will be interesting to look back and see the progression from "civilian" to law student to lawyer. But first, my third and final year of law school awaits.
