The time period in question was before the proliferation of outsourcing, but there was already Craigslist as a ready reserve resource. I had to resolutely disregard interesting-but-unhelpful search terms with advertising of local people looking for casual encounters and rants and raves. In the possibly more helpful Craigslist category enigmatically titled Gigs, I typed in: Lawyer seeks help. College drop-out preferred. Long hours, pressure-cooker environment, unyielding schedule. Pays all the Ramen noodles you can eat. Great opportunity to broaden your horizons and enhance your resume!It was a truthful description of the job, and consequently, I did not expect many takers.
