Did You Miss Donna Gerson This Week?

Ms. Gerson was on campus this past Tuesday speaking about general job search techniques and considerations as well as the special considerations and approaches that should be considered when targeting small and mid-size firm employers. Over 50% of attorneys nationwide practice in solo, small, and mid-size firms (generally defined as less than 50 attorneys), so this is a market that should not be ignored in your job search.

To learn more about Donna Gerson’s sessions, please speak to your CSO counselor, and check out one or more of Ms. Gerson’s books from the CSO library.

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!

Job Searching: There Are Resources Beyond the Fall Interview Program

Although the formal Fall Interview Program is nearing its end, for most students the job search process is not yet over. Rest assured that there are still job search resources – and jobs – out there for you. In fact, the CSO recently met with a medium-sized (25 attorney) local law firm that confirmed it does not begin thinking about summer hiring for 2Ls until February. This doesn’t mean that you can’t reach out these employers now and, certainly, expressing your interest early can be to your benefit. What it does mean, however, is that, as the formal Fall Interview Program reaches its close, now is the time to develop and implement your continuing job search strategy.

For tips and advice on how to do this, please join the CSO on Thursday, October 2nd, at noon in room 159. We’ll discuss job search strategies beyond the Fall Interview Program and we’ll have current 3L students share with you the strategies and resources they used to find summer positions.

Did You Miss Public Interest Theme Week?

Get your recap right here! The week was filled with great advice and shared experiences from both students and attorneys working in the public interest.

The week started on Tuesday with the Attorney Panel. Attorneys from a variety of organizations came to share their advice about the benefits of a public interest career and how to find out if a career in public interest is right for you. The attorneys shared their favorite things about their jobs, which included the positive impact they make on their clients and their communities, the opportunity to get litigation experience right away, and the opportunity to begin working directly with clients from Day One. The Public Defender panelist perhaps summed up best why he’s passionate about public interest work: “I’m doing the civic work that we expect highly educated people in our society to be doing.” When asked to share their advice for how get started in public interest, the attorneys unanimously encouraged students to talk to their professors, attend programs focused on the public interest, join organizations of interest to them, and seek out volunteer opportunities.

Speaking of volunteer opportunities, the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland paid a visit on Wednesday to talk about their Brief Advice Clinics and the opportunities students have to serve as intake volunteers. As a volunteer, students conduct brief interviews with each client to gather general information about their legal problem and then briefs the volunteer attorney on the issues. The student then gets to sit in on the meeting between the client and volunteer attorney, which is a great way to learn interviewing skills, client relation skills, issue-spotting skills, and more. To learn more about the Brief Advice Clinics and to sign up as a volunteer, stop by the CSO and ask for the contact information.

Your fellow students were the panelists for Thursday’s Student Panel as they talked about their summer experiences – where they worked, what they did, how they found their jobs, what sort of funding they received, etc. The common theme among the student panelists was that they all felt they’d spent their summer not only getting fantastic experience In research, drafting, client intake, interviewing, and oral advocacy, but also getting the job satisfaction of getting to follow a case from start to finish, of helping someone that nobody else wanted to help, and of making a difference in their communities.

Public Interest Theme Week wrapped up today with a session about Equal Justice Works and the Equal Justice Works Conference taking place in Washington, D.C. on October 10-11, 2008. If you missed any of these sessions, please stop by the CSO to pick up copies of the handouts and speak to a CSO Counselor.

Explore the World of Human Rights Law

The Emory Public Interest Committee has announced their conference entitled “Expendable People?: A Human Rights Perspective on the Impact of Global Economic Migration on Georgia.” The conference will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2009, at Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, and it will address three aspects of economic migration—human trafficking, the guest-worker program, and the undocumented workforce—and aims to challenge current law and culture to examine the health of human rights within U.S. borders.

Student conference organizers seek to engage conference participants in an open discussion of each of these topics: their causes, incidences, and effects—on those directly involved and on the greater Georgia community. The conference will serve as a space where individual, government, and community responses to economic migration can be examined and even challenged. Specifically, the plan is to discuss the relationship between human rights and citizenship.

Information is available at http://www.law.emory.edu/academics/conferences/epic-conference.html, and registration is open now.

Resume Tables

Now is the time to make sure your resume is in tip-top shape! After all, your resume is the primary document an employer will use to decide whether to bring you in for an interview. Remember, a successful resume does three things:

1. Coveys a good initial impression by being neat, well-organized and without mistakes.

2. Convinces the reader that your experience and educational background make you an ideal candidate for the job.

3. Demonstrates your ability to succeed in the desired position by effectively describing past activities, skills and accomplishments.

To help you make sure your resume has all the ingredients necessary to make it a successful resume, the CSO will be hosting resume tables in the upper rotunda during the next few weeks. From 12:00 - 1:00pm a staff member from the CSO will be available to answer any of your resume-related questions on the following days:

Etiquette & CSO-Sponsored Panels

If you decide to attend a workshop, please plan to stay for the full hour UNLESS you really have somewhere else you need to be (and if that is the case, sit by the door so your exit is not disruptive). The fact that students are walking out is especially troubling during the attorney panels. Securing speakers for panel discussions is difficult and very time-consuming (we contact two, three or four times as many potential speakers as actually say “yes” and unfortunately they often have to cancel at the last minute) and while the attorneys enjoy participating in these events it takes at least a couple of hours out of their day. It is disrespectful and disruptive to see people walk out, and some speakers may decide not to volunteer their valuable time again. Thank you!
