First Year Associate Job Market
I've been actively applying for positions as a new called lawyer but the current market in the GTA is extremely dreadful. Every firm is looking for atleast 2-3 years of experience. Even the junior associate positions requires a year or two. Has anyone been stuck in this situation before and if so, kindly share the steps you took to land an associate position. -

Binding Bar Exam Materials?
I bound each individual section separately. I had friends who printed everything and stuck them in two big binders (one for solicitor, one for barrister) with dividers for each section. I don't think there's any specific method that works better than another. Re: the indices - I bound them separately as their own thing anyway. I agree that you should just print your materials now and either bind them or put them in an actual binder. No reason to wait. -

Currently down after a rejection. Please chance me for TRU, Bora Laskin, uOttawa. Already waitlisted at UNB. Rejected at UBC, UVIC, and Windsor Single
Letter grade from TRU: A- LSAT: 156, 157 OLSAS CGPA: 3.27 CGPA at my University: 3.40/4.33 L2: 3.52 B2: 3.61 Applied access/discretionary where I could as I have been supporting both my parents since end of high school/first year of university in 2019 who were disabled in car accidents (some financially but mainly care taking as I have a significantly younger sibling as well). Have a few years volunteering then working with a firm that deals with personal injury. I also worked part time throughout my undergrad. Excellent LOR from professor and retired attorney general. This is my first cycle applying and I just graduated from my undergrad in December. Had a rough first and second year taking care of my parents but kicked it into a higher gear towards the end of my second year and finished semesters with some type of Presidents/Deans Roll. -
