<p>First, wow! …if story is true. </p>
<p>But… 
</p>
<p>I agree that his process of simply mailing out resumes only (if true) is inefficient. Disclaimer: as I’m not in that position yet, but many people I know do tell me that getting a job is easiest by networking. </p>
<p>We were taught how to use Linkedin at my school’s jobs workshop and it would seem surprising that you couldn’t find a job in 18 months with those credentials. You can literally talk to recruiters at Linkedin Groups, so I’m not sure why he wouldn’t have found someone who liked his resume and hired him by now.</p>
<p>Hard to tell…because the story doesn’t really say if he tried these other methods people are mentioning. I just know that this guy is much more qualified than the other stories I read online about people with law degrees and unemployed. He seems literally the cream of the crop, so it doesn’t seem to add up. </p>
<p>But if it’s really THAT bad in the economy, then this is downright scary!</p>
<p>re: bad reviews? </p>
<p>I’m curious, though, why his biglaw firm wouldn’t have given him the boot earlier if he was that bad of an employee?</p>
