GRE for LLM Job Prospects?

My friend advised me that since I am outside of the US to increase my job prospects after LLM and the bar that I should do the GRE then the LLM. Is this a good advise? Should I proceed on that avenue?

That's bad advice. In fact, it's the worst advice a friend can give. If schools wanted GRE, they would ask for it. Unless asked, don't provide anything. If only 10% of all applicants would submit stuff they're not supposed to, those in admissions would have nightmares...

Hey Hawkme,
Thanks for your response. But just to make sure of your advice my friend suggested that because of the awarding LLB which I currently hold is not a first class or honors and said that the GRE would increase my chances of getting accepted. I am thinking of applying to: http://www.fcsl.edu/llm/ . So would the GRE enhance my chances of getting accepted?

I don't think you're hearing me. That means poor judgement and no attention to the main point (let alone details). For a law graduate, such as you, that's pretty much a disaster.
