Emailed about a jerb (no opening posted), he suggested we get drinks once he and his colleagues return from trial. Then, he said, he'd be happy to put my "application" through the "official process."

Non service group practice area, fwiw

Partner has my resume and writing sample, not transcript. My resume is misleading in terms of how I did in classes (didn't do great but still copped cool gigs).

'17 grad working in midlaw, different city / state than where biglaw firm is located

do you have some personal connection to this person? ifbhes going out of his way ti meet with you then it is a potential opportunity but it's on you to impress him so he pushes your resume through.

GPA not on resume

I lucked into a few jobs/internships in law school which make me seem more impressive than my transcript would show

He's a school alum (albeit from 20 years ago)

I hire 3-8 people a year for my department of 300. Hiring someone is a major investment not only of the firm’s money but of my fucking time training your dumb ass. Someone has been on their current job less than 3 years gets their resume trashed almost every time.
