Back Into the Swing of Things!

Welcome back to school after a wonderful winter break. The CSO hopes you feel refreshed and ready for the spring semester.

Are you ready to get back into the swing of things? Beyond your course work, it is important to remember that job searching is a job in itself. If you have not been actively searching for employment over winter break, it is time to get serious. The 1Ls will be joining the CSO next week for the next session in our Professional Development Series. This session will provide advice about the interview process and suggest ways to handle the top ten most common interview questions. 2Ls and 3Ls are welcome to brush up on interview skills.

Over winter break the CSO worked diligently to enhance our Spring and Fall Interview Programs. We traveled to New York and have trips planned to Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles and Denver in the next 6 weeks. We are committed to helping you gain summer and permanent legal employment. So, what will you do next?

Take advantage of the CSO’s resources, experience and knowledge. Make sure to review the postings on Symplicity every week. As the bulletin board outside the CSO illustrates, this week there are 201 active job postings on Symplicity. This does not include employers who have registered for the Spring Interview Program.

Invest time in your job search this semester - stop by the CSO to schedule an appointment with a counselor, attend attorney panels and brown bag lunches, and network with attorneys on Mock Interview Saturday!
