Post-EIW Resources To Assist You in Your Summer Job Search and Decision-Making
Class of 2016 Summer Associates
In an effort to facilitate conversations about law firm summer associate programs, the OCS has created a directory of NYU 3Ls who worked at law firms this past summer. This “Class of 2016 Summer Associates” is available in the CSM Career Resources Library under the Resources Tab. You can access the students’ email addresses via the online picture book on the Law School’s website. We ask that you be respectful of the students’ time when contacting them.
Choosing the Right Law Firm for You Form
We have provided a useful assessment tool in the CSM Career Resources Library (under the Resources Tab) called “Choosing the Right Law Firm for You” to help assist students evaluate firm offers according to your goals and priorities. You MUST complete this form prior to meeting with an OCS counselor to discuss your offers; please send the form to law.careers@nyu.edu 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Appointments and Mock Interviews
Our preference would be that you attend a drop-in session before scheduling a full appointment – in many cases, more routine issues can be handled during the drop-in appointments. Counselors will refer a student for a full appointment when they assess that the matter necessitates more time.
Fall OCI Week 1 – Potential Open-Sign Up and Free-Sign Up Opportunities (2Ls, 3Ls, International Tax LLMs, Tax LLMs)
Week 1 of Fall OCI begins on Wednesday, September 16! Please see below for information regarding open sign-up and free sign-up.
Open Sign-Up: Open Sign-up will allow you to view all available interview slots for your class year during week 1 of Fall OCI. Students may do open sign-up on CSM for any open slot, as long as they meet the employer’s hiring criteria. Please note that: (1) open sign-up closes at 12:00 p.m. one day prior to each interview date; and (2) open sign-up is conducted in real-time through CSM and is first-come, first-served.
Please note: If you are already logged in to CSM prior to the opening of this module, you must LOG OUT and log back in to view all available Open Sign-Up slots. The “refresh” button will not function in this instance.
This is a first-come, first-served process and you will not be able to cancel these interviews once you have signed-up for an interview slot. You will be expected to attend each interview for which you are scheduled and to bring all requested application materials; you may NOT cancel an interview obtained via Open Sign-Up so please be sure to carefully read the schedule details and requirements before signing up for an interview. “Trading” or “swapping” interviews is NOT permitted.
To view available Open Sign-Up slots and sign up for an interview via Open Sign-Up:
Select the OCI top link and under Employers/Bidding, choose the Session from the dropdown menu (2015-16 Fall OCI: Week 1 (09/16/15-09/18/15)), make sure that ‘Show All’ displays in the Employers dropdown menu, then press the Search button.
If there is a time slot available, the Interview Date (next to the Employer Name) will display as a hyperlink. To sign up for an interview via Open Sign-Up, simply click on an available Interview Date, choose a time slot, and click Signup.
If no additional interview slots are available, you will not be able to click on the Interview Date.
Please note that students who have received an offer of employment and therefore need to cancel interviews obtained through open sign-up are not able to cancel the interview schedule on their own; students must contact Cassandre Stump (cassandre.stump@nyu.edu) for assistance.
Free Sign-Up: Students may manually sign up with employers with open slots beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday (for Wednesdays interviews) or at 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the employer’s visit on campus (for Thursday to Friday interviews). To determine interview availability, please go to the Interview Suite on the Fourth Floor of Furman Hall and look at the employers’ schedules. You may write your name in an available time slot and slip a copy of your resume under the door for the interviewer’s review.
If you have any questions regarding Fall OCI, please contact Cassandre Stump (cassandre.stump@nyu.edu) or Jennifer Leibowitz (jennifer.leibowitz@nyu.edu).
