Welcome to AssociateLocator.com

Graduating from law school and studying for the bar exam is difficult enough without the added stress of finding your first job. Nobody understands this more than the creators of AssociateLocator.com, who are each practicing attorneys and who created AssociateLocator.com to provide you an efficient, effective and inexpensive means to conduct your first job search.

As you are probably aware, current statistics show that the average time it takes a law school graduate to find his or her first job is nine months. Often, because of mounting student debt, a new graduate’s first job is accepted out of financial necessity rather than choice. A major factor in the delay between graduation and securing that first position is attributable to communication deficiencies that exist between the new graduate and his or her prospective employer.

Prior to the development of AssociateLocator.com, direct communication between law school students and prospective employers was limited to on-campus interviews and summer internships. Unfortunately, only about one percent of law firms participate in either of these forms of recruitment, and those that do generally limit their interest to the top five to ten percent of the students in each graduating class. This leaves the remaining ninety-nine percent of legal employers and ninety percent of law school students to find each other simply by chance. Your career resource department can only do so much. In the end you are stuck with the burden of finding your first job with very few tools to assist you.
