Dear 1L: Introduction to 1L Summer Jobs
đź’Ś Dear 1L,
I really don’t want to raise this topic with you before exams, and you still have time, but this past week, I’ve started to see postings for 1L summer jobs on LinkedIn.
—A simple search for “1L” under “Jobs” here also reveals dozens of new listings. Although many pertain to diversity scholarship jobs at big law firms (which may or may not be an option or interest for you), there are other, interesting-looking postings, too.
—The deadlines appear to be in January, so you still have time, but I wanted to make sure you were on top of things.
Have you met with your school’s Career Services Office (CSO) yet?
CSO listings will tell you what you need for each position, but please don’t wait for the CSO folks to come to you.
—They are busy, with students of all years seeking their guidance.
Many summer jobs also will not be officially posted, so you need to be proactive!

I’ll be posting tips for resumes, cover letters, and legal writing samples in the days and weeks to come.
Please let me know what questions you may have now.
Fondly,
đź’Ś Amanda
