Start a blog! It doesn't have to be about law and Facebook has a pretty good platform for blogging that you can then connect to your LinkedIn account. I tried using LinkedIn for blogging but thought it was a little disorganized. In any case, once you get some followers, likes, and shares you can put it on your resume. I work in pharmacy so I started a pharmacy community blog to establish a place where pharmacists and techs can share their experiences and interact with one another.

Do I need to list all work experience (ie, from undergrad and on) or should I just include my most recent work experience?

This is the first discussion that has compelled me to join in on the conversation. Because I had to fund my own way through college I found a job as a Pharmacy Tech and have worked as one for the past 5 years (I'm now 2 years out of undergrad). During my time I saw how frustrated and confused the elderly population is when it comes to their needs. I always knew I wanted to go to law school but I never knew what for exactly until I had my first internship at my Congressman's office. I primarily worked on constituents that were having problems with Social Security, Medicare, & drug cost problems. I developed a drive to help others which solidified me wanting to become an elder lawyer and help older people navigate our complex legal system.

General · is it a bad idea to look for a new job while in the middle of LSAT studying

I was in the same boat as you! I was stuck at a job where I couldn't put time away to study while also planning my wedding. A month before my wedding I got a new job that is much more flexible and allows me to manage my time better. Now I'm just beginning LSAT studying Round 2!

LOCI HELP

I haven't seen this question posted in past discussions so I'll go ahead and ask.... I am currently waitlisted at my top-choice school and am planning to write a LOCI. However, I was able to get a 4th LOR to add to my file. To make it even more interesting, my new LOR is from my district's Congressman (I was an intern during my Junior year in undergrad) BUT instead of submitting the LOR to the school his office sent it directly to my house. I was debating on writing my LOCI and addressing the fact that I have a new LOR and snail-mail both to the admissions office. Originally I was going to email my LOCI but I want to keep everything together. Does this sound like a good plan? Any other advice?

People will look at me funny when I'm on my lunch break studying or when I go to appointments and study in the waiting room. I've gotten passed the dirty looks but it's still mentally draining at some points. Luckily my job offers a little flexibility and I can work from home some days, which allows me to put some extra time into studying.
