Location: Auditorium
Come and hear from a panel of attorneys/faculty who have been involved in the hiring process, about what works and what doesn't work for applicants. Although this panel will be tilted toward the OCI experience, the interview and job search rules discussed are general enough to be broadly applicable to government, non-profits and law firms alike. This is a brown-bag event so please feel free to bring your own lunch.

Sign up for a time in ROSCOE under the OCI tab (choose the 2015 Spring Mock Interviews from the dropdown of OCI sessions) and then select a time that works best for you. Please do this as soon as possible so we can ensure we have the appropriate number of interviewers lined-up! *Please note that you will not be able to sign up until you have a resume approved in the system.
