Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about the timeline of the 2L job hunt.

In this episode we discuss:

• Should you be concerned if you’re a 2L without a summer job by mid-February?
• Should you start looking for a 2L job in your 1L year?
• The typical timeline for different types of jobs – BigLaw, public interest, small firms, etc.
• What you can start doing to get a jump-start on looking for a job
• The importance of grades when it comes to job searching
• Is it worth doing OCI if it’s a long-shot option?
