Announcing the CSO Corner, each week in the Docket!
Welcome back to the spring semester!
The CSO is excited to announce a new weekly column in the Docket, the CSO Corner. Each week the CSO will use this column to answer student questions and to provide information and advice about the job search and professional development. A drop box for student questions has been created and is in the CSO Resource Room – you may anonymously drop your questions there or you may email your questions to the CSO at lawjobs@case.edu.
If you haven’t met with your counselor yet this year, or if it’s been a while since you’ve been into the CSO, the best thing you can do right now is to make an appointment to meet with your CSO counselor. Email lawjobs@case.edu or stop in and talk to Ray to schedule a time. Your counselor can work with you to discuss opportunities, resources, and steps you can take to hit the ground running with your job search this semester.
One of the most important things you can do to help with your job search, especially in this economic climate, is to reach out and talk to practitioners in the field. One of the easiest ways to do this is to take advantage of CSO programming. You all received the January/February CSO Programming Guide in your mail folders – mark your calendars for the alumni brown bags, business law brown bags, and government and policy theme week. These are all great and easy opportunities to meet and network with alumni and other practitioners who are willing to share their experiences and advice with you. If you need to brush up on your networking skills, be sure to mark your calendar for the Networking Skills session on January 28th. This session will give you a simple and easy-to-follow approach to getting out there and talking to people!
Welcome back to the law school and be sure to submit your career questions to the CSO Corner!
