&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But, sometimes, tough just isn&#39;t enough.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And no matter much support a student gets from the career services office or how many on-campus interviews she attends, she just can&#39;t get a job.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Despite even the most persistent efforts, the current state of the economy has left some students and recent graduates empty-handed in terms of job prospects.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Optimists beware:&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;the following quotes from our Law School Student Survey aren&#39;t going to help you sleep at night.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Just remember that with the right amount of effort and strategy, prospects are still out there.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&quot;I am graduating in spring 2009, and I have not been able to find a job. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Granted, the economy right now is a horrendous one to be job searching in.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Our career services office does provide counseling, but as I said, they are fairly useless.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They leave a lot up to students themselves, and really aren&#39;t much of a resource.&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;span&gt;Employment prospects are hard to analyze right now because of the recession.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Lots of students are moaning about the school&#39;s inability to follow through on promises of employment for those students who are not in the top 10 percent of the class.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&quot;As with all schools, we are having quite a difficult time with employment right now. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;We also have a severe problem with stability in our career services office.&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&quot;I have been out of school for approximately 11 months and have passed the bar exam and I am still looking for a job.&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;-Posted by Megan Cassidy&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
