Lawyers are evil

Apparently during on campus interviews the recruiters from different firms sit together and talk about who they met. Apparently one of the people I had a bad interview with was nice enough to tell some of the other recruiters about it. Apparently this makes everyone not want to hire you. Cause law firms are like the snotty people in high school -- they only want you if the cool kids want you.

I have a feeling I know who said not nice things against me. I think it was the jerk whose idea of a joke was asking if I took a lot of bribes at my last job. Ha ha. I committed a felony. Just kidding.

So tonight I went to a gathering of lawyers and got to check their names off on a list as they came in. As I watched them stand around in their fancy suits and make kissy faces at people, I was thinking about how evil lawyers are... that's when I ran into my old boss. I happened to mention that my interviews were going poorly and she got me another interview with a big firm out near the beach right on the spot. All I have to do is not blow it.

So maybe I'll get to become an evil lawyer after all.

Actual email from Dean of Something or other at my school:

"Hi. I'm writing to apprise you that your choice of blouse is a risky one for interviewing insofar as the neckline is perceptibly low for this purpose. It runs the risk that interviewers will find your choice inappropriate and reflective of your judgement. This is particularly true of female interviewers who can be keenly aware of apparel choices they might consider inappropriate. I see my role here as trying to enhance students' success and I would hate to see your job prospects compromised by something as simple as this. I strongly encourage you to make a more conservative choice moving forward.Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
