If you do decide to take a position that is something less than a permanent full-time job, you should be careful to do something that will be perceived to be a stepping stone to the job you would like. If you want to represent small businesses in transactional matters and provide general business counsel, then do not take a position helping a small firm with its litigation. It may also not be such a great idea to take a job as a paralegal if you want to be perceived as a lawyer. The only exception to this is that if you are in financial distress, obviously your need to earn income now may trump your efforts to move your career in the direction that you would like to ultimately go. In addition to avoiding the classifieds, you should probably stay away from recruiters.
Recruiters are only involved in lateral movement of attorneys.
Since recruiting fees are high, the employers who use recruiters are generally looking for a certain candidate profile. This book contains some excellent strategies for someone in your situation. In it you will also find encouraging anecdotes that illustrate the power of a more personalized approach. Most importantly, do not lose hope or perspective. One year may seem like a long time right now, but once you have been working full-time as a lawyer for several years, it will not seem so significant.
