manager loathes me, confidence is low
I'm a newly barred attorney working as a "prosecutor" (more on that below). My (female) manager, who loves tearing down other women, took an instant dislike to me. I've been told by other coworkers it's because I don't suck up enough. I'm also new to office culture- knowing the right things to say and when, knowing whose ass to kiss, etc.
I already came in to the prosecutor's office with imposter syndrome because this is my second career and to be honest, I wasn't sure I had what it took to be a prosecutor/lawyer in the first place. But I know I have the passion and the grit and I like to think I could have done really well in a courtroom. She didn't even let me rotate into a courtroom yet- I'm still in her little intake unit. I just have the title of prosecutor without even having had the chance to appear in court.
I stuck it out for a long time thinking things would get better, and they are not. I'm applying for other jobs and have a few interviews lined up, with other prosecutor's offices and elsewhere.
How do I explain my lack of courtroom experience during interviews? Granted, I've only been barred for a month, but I've been with the office as a law clerk for a long time. And, how do I rebuild my confidence?
