Yep, you read that title right.
We are officially ready to become adults. Like, real, job, working adults.
Bryce has been slaving away trying to find a job. He finally got his certified driving record to the CO Bar, so now he can get licensed, he just has to find his way out there again! But... the job is not in Colorado. Tear.
Our ward is awesome. They are just so aware of us and care so much about helping us find a job. One lady in the ward, with whom I'm not sure I have ever spoken... maybe a hello... has a son-in-law who is an attorney. Luckily, this attorney fired his paralegal this past Friday (3 days ago) and is absolutely swamped. Double luckily, she chimed in for us and gave a solid plug for my hubs knowing that he has not passed the bar in CA, but has passed in CO.
This attorney was thrilled to find someone in our situation because he doesn't want to pay an attorney rate, but isn't quite sure about pursuing another paralegal versus a full-time attorney. As he was torn... cue music... he heard about a young (becoming old) man who was seeking attorney experience.
Bryce went to see him today. He hired him on the spot. Bryce starts tomorrow.
He said if things go well, and B takes/passes the CA Bar this time around (no, this was not in the plans, but now is in the plans) then he would probably hire him on as an attorney if they have enough work for it and if he likes him (which, duh, who doesn't like B?).
There you have it. Building the resume resumes. :)
B starts tomorrow (we hope it's full time, but are not sure yet, it was kind of a whirlwind).
He is so excited. I am so excited.
Who knows how long we'll be in CA. But, for now, we are grateful we don't have to deal with moving somewhere temporary as he gains experience.
Yes, he will probably take the CA Bar again. Ugh. We just sold all our books and flashcards!! Guess we can afford to buy some more now that he has a job! :) Great timing. Right before Christmas. Life is good my friends.
I'm still dreaming of a white Christmas for next year.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Sooooo happy for you guys. Aubrey, you crack me up...cue music! :) And it's so true, who DOESN'T like Bryce? You guys are such a great family and deserve the absolute best. Yay yay yay!
ReplyDeleteYay! I have been thinking about you guys a lot lately, I am so glad that something has worked out. Just some food for thought...maybe Bryce could be asked for his position title to be a "clerk." My sister is currently a clerk for a law firm. She is not licensed, and she does paralegal work, but in addition does actual legal work (like drafts pleadings and such). That sounds like what B will be doing. That way he can have "clerk" on a resume, which will look a little better if you need to apply for another job in the future (but hopefully you won't!).

Jeri - I was thinking about how to put that on the resume. That's a good idea, I'm sure this guy doesn't care what title Bryce takes. Your sister still isn't licensed? That's too bad. And yes, he will be doing basically everything an attorney would be doing, no more lame internship memo's. lol. Do you label on the resume Clerk or Law Clerk? Or is it obvious it's for law, haha.
DeleteCongratulations, that's huge!!! So excited for you guys!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your whole family! I hope his first day went well!
