Week 1 of Spring OCI begins on Monday, January 25! Please see below for information regarding open sign-up and free sign-up.
Open Sign-Up via CSM closes at 12:00 p.m. one day prior to the employer’s interview date. Students may sign-up for any open slot with an employer, as long as they meet the employer’s degree (JD or LLM), class year (e.g., 1L, or 2L), specialty requirements, and/or hiring criteria, which are viewable in the employer’s OCI schedule on CSM. Open Sign-Up is conducted in real-time through CSM and is not a lottery.
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, hiring criteria, and other requirements (e.g., requested materials to bring to the interview) before signing up for an interview. “Trading” or “swapping” interviews is NOT permitted.
Open Sign-Up Instructions:
- Select the OCI tab on the navigation bar and under Employers/Bidding, choose the Session from the dropdown menu (for example, 2015-2016 Spring OCI:Week 1 (01/25/2016 – 01/28/2016)), make sure that ‘Show All’ displays in the Employers dropdown menu, then press the Apply Search
- 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 Submit.
- 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 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 Monday (for Monday interviews) or at 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the employer’s visit on campus (for Tuesday to Thursday interviews). Students may manually sign up with employers with open slots on their schedule for their class year, as long as they meet the employer’s hiring criteria (accessible via the employer’s interview schedule on CSM). 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.
Please email Cassandre Stump at cassandre.stump@nyu.edu or Jennifer Leibowitz at jennifer.leibowitz@nyu.edu with any questions regarding Spring OCI.
