Unfortunately, I did not receive an offer from the firm where I worked as a summer associate. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do as a 3L to improve my chances in finding a permanent associate position after graduation?

Answer:
There's actually a lot you can do, but you can be proactive and you have to start now. I wrote an article published in the Texas Lawyer in 2009 with some good suggestions. I hope you find it helpful. The link is below:
