[NotFromHere]

I have to share this post from "another" board.

Finally, I can exhale...I got a job. It could not have come at a more appropriate time: I am at my wits end financially and psychologically from having tried so hard for so long on my own.

I will begin my job as a compliance associate ...at a major investment firm in NYC.

For those of you still looking, I say, don't give up despite the law school that you went to, your grades, bar status etc. Also, by whatever means necesssary do your best to look like a million dollar in terms of appearance at the interview as a guy get a brand new white shirt (I like Christian Dior shirts because they fit so well) wear your best tie (I wore a D&G dark blue tie with a red stripe) and a dark navy blue pinstripe suit from Banana Republic and of course get your shoes freshly polished and carry a brief case. To invoke public relations again: image is truly everything.

I plan to make the most of this job, work really hard and then hopefully move onto my real goal of working for Court TV as a legal analyst in the near future (I majored in Journalism and Political Science in college, however, sadly in this economy I realize you have to take the job that you get until you get the job that you want).

Coltrane, please do not go out and buy yourself a Banana Republic suit (they sell suits?) for your interviews. Please.
And Court TV? That's a dream gig?
