I’ve interviewed for a lot of jobs over the last eight months. None of them were perfect so I didn’t pursue them. I want to make a move, but my search is taking a long time. Am I being too picky?

It would seem that in an active legal market, finding a new job would be quick and easy … Especially if a candidate had several suitors from which to choose. But reality isn’t always what it seems. And the path to pulling the trigger can be filled with bumps in the road: Some outside one’s control and others self-imposed.
