Q: I graduated from law school in May 2009 without an offer from my summer BigLaw firm. They made very few offers and I was told that it was due to the lack of work in my department. Since taking the bar exam, I have been aggresively looking for employment almost everywhere.

Despite having a strong resume, I have not been successful in my job search. To keep my resume current, I have been volunteering at a legal nonprofit organization, where I have gained some valuable legal experience.
