Please log into ROSCOE to review the opportunities that will be available. Opportunities are available for all 1Ls, 2Ls and 3Ls. Please note that in ROSCOE you will only see those employers who are hiring from your class. Make sure you have uploaded the most recent copy of your resume and transcript (Grade sheet).

The spring OCI season has been broken into sessions. The Third session runs from February 12th through February 13th. This system gives you hard and fast deadlines to meet and will simplify our interactions with employers. Below are a few of the FAQ’s we often get.
Q: What does bidding mean?
A: Under our preselect system, Employers indicate when they are coming to interview and request certain application materials from interested applicants. By providing the employer with your materials, you are “bidding” or indicating your interest in the opportunity to interview.
Q: How do the employers choose which students to interview?
A: The employers will select students to interview based on the application materials you submit. Employers want to make sure that you meet their hiring criteria. If you are selected for an interview, you can be assured that you are in the running for the position. Students who do not meet the stated criteria or who submitted application materials with typos and grammatical mistakes are often eliminated at this point.
Q: Once the firm chooses me to interview what happens?
A: If selected, you will be notified by e-mail and you should then log in to ROSCOE and choose a specific interview time.
Q: What if the only times available are during my class?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot avoid all class times. Employers may be interviewing 20 students from your class and it is impossible to avoid conflicts. The sooner you log in the more likely you can choose a time that does not conflict. It is up to you to talk to your professors and make sure you know what the professor’s policy is for missing a class. As interviews are only 20 minutes you can often miss only a small portion of the class period.
