I passed the patent bar during law school then passed the Maryland bar this past summer.  My grades are good (top 30%) and I have a bachelors in applied physics, however, I have not had much luck in finding a job in the IP area.  Ideally I want to do patent prosecution and am having the typical problem of getting that first job.  I have seen that some others had their first job be a position searching patents and preparing patentability reports for a firm, solo practitioner or corporation.  My questions is, where do I go to find these jobs?  Apparently others have had offers doing work remotely so that location is not a problem.  I have been looking and applying to jobs for a few months now and have not seen any jobs like this.

Hi, did you go to U Maryland law school?  since you passed the Maryland bar and I figure you must be in the area.
Try firms like Finnegan/Sterne because they have scooped up a good number of people from Maryland.

you could always try places like LandonIP or Cardinal Intellectual property. I don't know if either of these places are hiring.

The USPTO is always hiring.

If by "always" you mean "a little bit very recently and for the first time in more than a year"...
