I’m sure you’ve all seen and heard this post one million times, please network even if you hate it.

I’m a graduating 3L, bottom 50% of the class (and was a fail out risk my 1L year) at a middle ranked law school and I hate networking. What no one tells you is networking doesn’t just mean going to events.

I interviewed for a junior associates position at a midsized firm 2 days ago and despite being told that there would be a second round of interviews in May, they just said what the hell and offered me the position.

What the hell does this have to do with networking you say? This guy is just self-felating. I have talked to the hiring partner twice for 30 minutes each time maybe a year ago. But, he remembered that I was interested in his area of work and that he enjoyed the conversation.

All this to say, never give up on your dreams, network, and drink water I guess idk.
