Although statistics for the class of 2008 are not published yet, NALP provides interesting national data regarding where the class of 2007 went to work. 55% of the graduates took employment in the private sector, with over 30% of those going to firms with between 2 and 10 attorneys. Martindale.com lists nearly 300 firms of that size in Franklin and Delaware counties alone.
Combining that information, which identifies a significant pool of employer possibilities, with an understanding of the most common ways small and medium firms connect with new hires will help you focus your efforts:
Advertising with law school-29% (Think Symplicity.)
Referral/networking-27% (Think informational interview.)
Unsolicited resume-16% (Make sure it is a standout.)
Classified advertising-6%
Career/Job fair-4%
