Congratulations on completing your first year of law school! Final exams have concluded and that means a break. Not so fast! For most students, the on-campus interview (OCI), also known as early interview week (EIW), bidding process begins in less than one month and this can feel like a daunting process. It is not uncommon for students to bid on between 25 to 50 law firms. How does one begin to differentiate this many potential employers? For starters, you must conduct ample research. You should also determine which firms align with your values and goals. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What practice area(s) am I most interested in?
- What are my geographic preferences?
- What values are important to me in an employer?
Informed and realistic bidding will lead to greater success during OCI. This month, our highlighted resource will give you essential tips on the OCI bidding process.
Please check back later this month for additional information on creating the bidding list that is best for you!
