I have spent the last three hours applying for jobs. I have applied to a grand total of -------5 jobs. Job hunting takes forever. I researched and compiled a list of about 20 jobs last night. So today all I have to do is minor edits to my stock cover letters and fax, print or email. Ha! There is a lot more faxing and printing than emailing. Why oh why is it so hard for lawyers to accept the virtues of email? I can dash off an email in literally 1/5 the time it takes to fax. Perhaps I am just inept, but it takes forever for me to send a doc through the fax wizard. Even good old fashioned printing takes less time.
Maybe by the end of the day I'll have my 20 resumes out. Or maybe the end of the week.

What's ridiculous is that if you're going to anything larger than a 2-person firm (and sometimes even the smallest guys are techno whizzes), they're probably going to scan and send around your resume for review! Maybe you could set up a web site or give them a CD with your resume and accompanying docs (cover letter, transcript, etc.) in electronic form. Put yourself ahead of the rest? Not that you want to take more on... ;)
Hmmm, hadn't thought about that. It would really take only minimal effort. Definitely something to consider. Thanks for the tip!
