FL job search-waiting clearance

Post by kiadak231 » Sat Oct 13, 2018 3:14 pm

I passed the July bar in FL and am waiting for board to come back with my clearance to be sworn in. My app is a little over six months in and when I received my pass letter a few weeks ago it stated that most applications take 6-8 months to complete and keep waiting. Is it acceptable to begin applying for jobs but note that I am still waiting or do I just wait for the ok to come through? Thanks!

You should apply now unless it’s a government job. Firms are more lenient regarding bar passage. You already passed the exam so firms may be fine with that. Just make sure you put it on your resume
