Don't say it's your fiancee's family, just strong familial connection or something like that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2881272&forum_id=2#27898540) |

Date: May 15th, 2015 4:33 PM Author: erotic half-breed resort Thanks dude. I've been getting interviews through applying directly to practice group heads or managing partners, but I haven't been getting interviews using recruiters. Applying directly seems to be tcr. I like your idea of sending dat HARD COPY. I've been mentioning fiancee's family in cover letters, so I think I will make it more vague and just say "familial connections" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2881272&forum_id=2#27898618) |

Date: May 15th, 2015 7:42 PM Author: talented smoky idea he suggested I disagree with this. I would say it's your fiancé and that you are going to settle down in AZ and raise a family there. That's the strongest possible connection there is. Why obscure it with some vague "familial" thing, which could mean a dead uncle?
But I do agree that sending cover letter and resume directly to firms is the way to go. |

Date: May 19th, 2015 6:09 PM Author: erotic half-breed resort Ty brother. I see your point - if someone had strong connections they would be specific instead of saying "familial connections," so maybe I should just be straight up about my connections like I have been so far (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2881272&forum_id=2#27923244) |

Date: May 19th, 2015 1:23 AM Author: Sepia library Year/practice area? There are a lot of openings at Phoenix firms right now. If you have 3+ years in CA corp BigLaw you can write your ticket to any firm. Still in decent shape if you're a shitigator but will depend more on the quality of firm you're coming from.
There are only a few local recruiters worth a shit. If you have a throwaway email I can send you info. |

Date: May 19th, 2015 6:04 PM Author: erotic half-breed resort Thanks brother! I'm a 4th year at a firm with about 50 lawyers. I started out doing shitigation but I'm now doing mostly environmental, public agency, and water stuff. Been seeing a lot of shitigation openings but not much enviro. I'm flying out there next week for a couple screener interviews
I took and passed the AZ bar and I hope that'll help me out
My throwaway email is alphamalestrutting@gmail.com. Tips on recruiters, firms, etc. would be extremely appreciated. Tyty |

Date: May 19th, 2015 8:43 PM Author: shimmering elite sound barrier mad cow disease I am looking to [relocate/move] to Arizona in large part because I have immediate family in the Phoenix area.
*make up an immediate family, e.g., sister, brother, etc.*
Alternatively, you can also add this language:
"I travel regularly to [Phoenix/Arizona] and would welcome the opportunity to discuss [insert position] in person." *You have to be willing to fly out there on your own dime though. I did this when I was trying to relocate to a different city. I was able to schedule 2 biglaw interviews, but went inhouse before I received any offer.* |

Date: May 19th, 2015 9:10 PM Author: erotic half-breed resort Thanks brother. My fiancée's family lives there so Ive just been sayin that. I think telling them you're in town is credited. I've gotten a few interviews that way so far. I just hope my firm doesnt catch on based on all the days I take off (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2881272&forum_id=2#27924639) |
