A decision to do nothing is a decision to do something!
Finals are almost over and winter break is about to start. No matter what you plan to do over winter break (ie. work, play, get ready for next semester or just enjoy your family) you should also be thinking about your job search. If you decide this winter break to bypass the employment search, you are making a decision not to be proactive in your search.
So when you have down time this winter break, think about what you would like to do this summer and/or post grad. Take a look on symplcity, which has a substantial amount of employment opportunities nationwide. While you are in your hometown visiting family and old friends, network! Let people know you are searching for employment. Request informal meetings with attorneys in town to learn more about what they do. Sit in on court hearings at your local courthouse and get aquatinted with the judge and procedures. Volunteer a few hours in the community to let people know who you are and to familiarize yourself with issues addressing your local community. Take risks! Few risks bring few rewards!
You decide if the glass is half full or half empty!
