Bombs Away

I just sent out my first few applications for real, honest-to-goodness, full-time lawyering jobs. The application process makes me sick to my stomach. The economy being what it is, there are scores of applicants for every job, so I know that every employer's first order of business will be to scan my application materials for a reason--any reason--to put them in the "reject" pile. No amount of proofreading feels like enough.
