Bad Glacier

Today is November 1. This may not mean anything to you, but to 560-some Harvard 1Ls, it means that the summer job search has officially begun. We can make appointments with Career Services and the Office for Public Interest Advising. We can attend any of the 4,877 talks, panels, workshops, and discussions that are scheduled over the next three weeks. We can spend hours reformatting our resumes, making the “Harvard Law School” as prominent as possible to hide our complete lack of relevant experience. We can skip classes to work on cover letters. We can think of new ways to casually work our job offers into conversation. And of course, we can stop pretending we’re considering public interest work and spend the next few months begging for jobs from every big-city law firm that has ever hired a 1L.

Happy November 1st, y’all.
