Welcome Prospective Employers!

Update 6/9/09: Trevor is now self-employed. Prospective employers are out of luck!

I write here under my own name, and fully expect you to find this place. It's on the first page of Google results, so frankly I'd be a little disappointed if you didn't. First, a little disambiguation: I am not an Irish tour guide or a British metal-detecting enthusiast. I am also not the actor Austin Trevor. He died in 1978, so that should be a tipoff. Second: this writing is often hasty. That's the nature of the medium. It is not representative of my scholarly or professional work.

I use this space primarily as a creative release, a place to stash random bits of humor and thoughts that I'd otherwise daydream about. I use my real name precisely because it makes me accountable for what I say here; since nobody stays anonymous, I figured it would be better to only write things I'd be willing to attach my name to for everyone, employers included, to see. If the teeming masses in the wilds of the internet want scathing insider tell-alls, they know where to find them.

All of which is just a circuitous way of saying please still hire me. I don't use the names of my professors, even when they're public figures, so you can certainly be Summer Employer for the purposes of this site. I look forward to working with you, and congratulate you on your prudent exercise of due diligence.

I can 100% guarantee that no employer cares enough to take the time to google you.

I also assumed that law schools didn't read applicants' posts until an admissions officer admitted they did. The internet is fully part of the process now.
