...And my firm is at capacity, so I won't be hired on after my contract ends in a few weeks. In a lot of ways, it's a relief as I can be rid of the shame that's followed me since taking the Bar. But it's also really hard to go out into the job market this junior.
For the past two months I have been scrubbing my resume, making contacts, calling ledes, and drafting resumes & cover letters tailored to each firm. On Friday, I have my first interview...in Surrey. I am not really sure what's coming next for me but it will be quite the relief to finally be a lawyer at the end of the month, maybe all of this effort will seem worth it. Maybe I'll get that high that's eluded me at every graduation and event since completing my freshman year.
What I'll do when unemployed:
1) File for EI. My first time ever!
2) Run by the seawall, do yoga, stretch, lift weights. A lot.
3) Buy staples in bulk & learn to stretch our food budget.
4) Stop buying unnecessary items. Find coupons and deals for necessities.
5) Read.
6) Nap.
7) Be really happy when I start working again. I'm not much of a stay-at-home person.

I check the thrift stores for stuff we need sometimes, found an iron for $4! Hope it works...
