Columbus: It's more than just the home of OSU
If coming to Case is your first experience in Ohio, you have undoubtedly heard of the prowess that is Ohio State Football. However, what you may not be aware of is how Columbus, the home of everything buckeye, has changed over the last few years. On top of being the capital of Ohio, Columbus is now the “youngest” city in the state. The arena district, with its shops, bars and restaurants, and loft style apartments have attracted many people from other parts of the country to the Columbus area. With this influx of population to the area, employers are staring to open up offices in the area as well. I spoke with many legal employers in Columbus last week, and they were all looking to expand. These employers foresee growth in the next 1-3 years, and they all are impressed with the candidates that come out of Case. One employer (a small firm which focuses on issues surrounding employment law) is thinking about expanding because their business is booming. They desperately want to hire a Case student as a clerk, and groom that clerk to become an Attorney after graduation. I met with a number of government offices who are interested in hearing from Case students with regards to clerk positions for next summer and beyond.
I know that many of you may overlook Columbus when it comes to a job search, especially if you are not from Ohio originally, however it is worth a look. I know I was pleasantly surprised. If you have any questions about Columbus employers or anything else regarding your job search, please contact one of the Career Counselors here at the CSO!
