[blindlaw] Interviewing Post-Law School

Given the interest in the job search call, we could use one of those free conference call services. I think something in the evening would probably be best in case there are some who might work or have other obligations during the day. Any thoughts?

I do, however, have some suggestions that might help you get a job, and maybe you could help me identify if I am doing anything wrong.
