Second Semester Job Searching
If you have not yet secured summer or permanent employment, now is a perfect time to beginning planning your job search strategy for the Spring Semester. With Fall Semester finals over and Winter Break drawing to close, take time now to think a little bit about how to approach the job search in the upcoming months.
• Make a list of employers you’d like to reach out to and spend some time drafting cover letters to those employers.
• Continue to check Simplicity on a regular basis – the CSO regularly posts new job postings for 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls.
• Get your resume in shape for the Spring Interview Program, which begins with bidding on January 22, 2008, and on-campus interviews starting February 11, 2008. If you have not had a recent copy of your resume reviewed by the CSO, email it to lawjobs@case.edu for review.
• Brush up on your interview skills by reviewing common interview questions and thinking about you’d like to present yourself in any interview.
Above all, remember that now is not the time to panic! Instead, it is the time to be pro-active and seek out employers of interest to you. Remember that many students do not secure summer or permanent employment until well into the Spring Semester. And the CSO is here to help you. If you have not been in to see us recently, please schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor to discuss your Spring Semester job search. And keep us updated on your progress – we want to know how your search is going.
