Fall OCI Update for Students

The OCI Tab is now open and OCI-Registered students may begin bidding (submitting application materials) for the Fall On-Campus Interview (OCI) Program.

Required Steps for OCI Registration/Tab Access:
1. Watch the OCI Orientation Video and complete the related Questionnaire: Please log into Symplicity where under the OCI Announcement Box you will find a link to the video and the required questionnaire.
2. Enter your Conflicts into your Calendar on Symplicity: Conflicts must be entered into the Calendar on Symplicity for ALL Business Days from August 13th to October 15th using the Personal Events Sub-Tab under the Calendar Tab. To express that you are free on a given day to interview all day, you must enter an appointment from 7:00am-8:00am for each of those days that says NO CONFLICTS. Without an entry on your Calendar for each day of OCI, we cannot process your schedule when we are creating interview schedules.
3. Have an Approved Résumé and then Complete the OCI Registration Form: Located under your Surveys Tab on Symplicity once your  résumé has been approved by your advisor for the 2012-2013 academic year. Please note the Priority Resume Upload Deadline is July 13, 2012.

Participating Employers: Employers continue to register to participate in both the on-campus interview and resume collect portions of OCI. It is important to CONTINUALLY check the Participating Employers List (in the OCI Announcements Box on the Symplicity Homepage) throughout the summer to see employers added as well as any changes to pre-registered employer deadlines

How to make a Networking Plan

You don't have to keep tabs on everyone you've met since grade school to be successful at networking. Some people are social hubs and find networking easy and natural. Others need to make an effort to stay connected with friends and colleagues as well as forge new relationships. Whichever type of person you are, making the most of networking opportunities is critical to business success.

LCS Blog Transitions

We are transitioning the Law Career Services blog to the same platform that the rest of the College of Law uses.  We'll continue to post to the old site for the time being, but we're excited to join the College's and Rinn Law Library's blogs.  If you prefer a different platform, we also also post our information to a tumblr account, which we find easier to read on our smart phones.
