Legal field entry question
I will say that, while I completely stand by my advice and thank the others for agreeing with me, my natural tone tends toward snide and I'm sorry if that was unhelpful. I didn't mean to be unkind. Indeed, as I said in my first post, I was pretty sure your post would sink like a stone, and I thought mine might be the only response you'd get - and it might have been, if I hadn't started a bit of a kerfuffle with my response. The thing is, if you're doing hiring, you're getting so many applicants that if someone's approach is odd, you're not going to invest the time in figuring out why. You're going to throw their application out and move on to the next one. If someone's sense of professional norms and communication style are off base, no employer is going to investigate whether they're a diamond in the rough - they're just going to keep moving. -

1L grades + success in landing a job on Bay Street
Thank you both for your candid answers! I appreciate the honesty and encouragement. I know the best course of action to take right now is to leverage other parts of my application and try to stand out since my grades don’t do much for me. My next question is, what makes an “excellent” application? I’m confident in my writing and I’ve written some pretty good cover letters and gotten interviews based off of those. I do need to sharpen my interview skills this summer so I’m more prepared for the 2L recruit, and I’ll also need to make great connections with important people at these firms which will take work but I’m not overly worried about that because I do believe I’m a personable and sociable person that can connect somewhat easily with others (and leave a decent impression for that matter). But does anyone have tips on how I can craft an excellent application given my situation (2 C’s in 1L)? I also understand that luck shouldn’t be understated in these matters - because if it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen. But before I leave things up to the universe, I do want to do my part and my due diligence in attempting to secure a semi-decent chance of succeeding in the recruit.
