Question after OCI: if we fail to get a summer position through the OCI/Callback process (presumably due to grades), what action would you advise? Mass-mail each and every firm possible ASAP? Or, put the search off and focus on grades in hopes of making a respectable improvement - and applying after Fall08 grades post (around the same time 1Ls get their applications going)? Is it fatal to hold off until January?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357977259021068060.post-59569176877051869172008-10-02T14:15:00.000-07:002008-10-02T14:15:00.000-07:00HP- You've previously touched on this issue before...HP- You've previously touched on this issue before - callbacks for students that don't meet the grade cutoff. Specifically, I'm very much below the firm's top 1/4 requirement - I'm just over median. I used a connection at the office to get the OCI screening interview. Also, one of my references is a client of the firm (though I never brought this up and never called on him to push me through). I thought I would get an OCI interview out of courtesy, but not the callback. Would a firm hand out an out-of-town courtesy callback? Or is it possible I'm actually being considered? Of some importance, the firm's HP conducted the OCI interview.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357977259021068060.post-89520213092356322192008-09-29T13:13:00.000-07:002008-09-29T13:13:00.000-07:00The firms that I've taken a while to hear back fro...The firms that I've taken a while to hear back from have told me that they are waiting until they have hired all of their candidates before making a final decision. <BR/><BR/>Is this common practice or just a function of the economy right now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357977259021068060.post-32469399232271846312008-09-29T03:19:00.000-07:002008-09-29T03:19:00.000-07:00HP - Yes, I am still finding this blog useful.

Even though the advice given while you were away was sound, you still add an additional layer of transparency, detail, and nuance that an outsider cannot simply guess at. Plus, it's far better that you can confirm any advice in the comments! <BR/><BR/>As discussed a month or so before, it would be awesome if you can talk about issues beyond OCI so that those people who are fortunate enough to have found jobs can keep them and thrive in them!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357977259021068060.post-84635212127487867252008-09-28T17:17:00.000-07:002008-09-28T17:17:00.000-07:00I'm finding the blog still very helpful.

How can we make the most of our time at the firm, and could you talk a little bit about exit options?

At my school, we had OCI and then "Resume Collection." Very few of the "Resume Collection" firms have contacted anyone in my school. Are firms waiting for the first round of offers to go and get accepted before deciding how many to offer at lower tiered schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
