A Big Shot
Well, after an interesting conversation the other evening with a bar exam study buddy, I came up with an interesting plan. Phase 1 of the plan was already successful, although phase 1 is meaningless if phase 2 fails. Here is the plan:
Phase 1: I called up a partner at a firm I'd like to work for, and left him a message which, more or less, said: "I'd like 15 minutes of your time at your office at your earliest convenience. I have an offer I don't think you can refuse." I received a call from his secretary the very next morning, and the meeting has now been scheduled.
Phase 2: (which I'm working on) will involve me walking into his office and convincing him to give me a job as his clerk on a trial basis. At the end of the month, we'll schedule a meeting to determine whether or not to continue my employment.
I'm pleased at the opportunity to give this a go face to face. Although I'm a bit of practice, I'm a salesmen at heart, and I like my chances in this setting. But you just never know.
Have a great weekend! Godspeed.
