When Should I Start Mailing Non-OCI Firms?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 30th, 2009 12:55 PM Author: Misunderstood Exhilarant Personal Credit Line Feces I'm targeting a secondary market that is sending less than 10 firms to OCI. There are about 20 firms in this market I want to mail. When should I do that? I am working in the market this summer, so I was thinking of mailing in mid-July and (hopefully) doing some interviews before going back to school.

Date: June 30th, 2009 6:02 PM Author: garnet hell hominid I was told by my career services person to wait to do this until AFTER OCI. Is this advice as totally fucking dumb as I think it sounds? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030743&forum_id=2#12126422) |

Date: July 1st, 2009 12:28 AM Author: bistre curious headpube rehab I actually did that to go to a market my school doesn't typically place into and definitely had fewer opportunities than I would have had I gotten out ahead of the OCI flood.

Date: July 1st, 2009 12:31 AM Author: Razzmatazz Abusive Church Tank I'm in a similar situation. My school does very little in my desired market (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030743&forum_id=2#12129658) |

Date: July 1st, 2009 12:34 AM Author: bistre curious headpube rehab Take advantage while you're in town. I skipped a screening interview and walked right into a callback by letting an alumn partner know I would be in town for personal reasons and was interested in interviewing. Immediately offered the callback and immediate offer at the end of the day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030743&forum_id=2#12129686) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 6:14 PM Author: Swashbuckling Haunting Legend Prole just go ahead and do it. get a list of alumni in firms, cities, practice areas u want, chat up a few by phone or email, try to get informational interviews, etc. if ur in the market u want to work in, lunch it up with as many as u can, and just talk about what they do, what their firm does, what u know about their firm, etc. do some cover letters and resumes to firms that aren't coming to OCI in a plausible market where u have ties, etc. now is a great time to start, and just see what u can get out of it. if u work it right, u may wind up with a few actual interviews in the summer, and maybe even walk into OCI with a callback or two already in ur pocket. lather, rinse, repeat.

I'm ready to start tomorrow. But I'm afraid that if I start too soon, they'll toss it aside (2010 is out of sight, out of mind) and never pick it back up when things get going in a couple months. |

Date: July 1st, 2009 12:31 AM Author: bistre curious headpube rehab I would start doing it next week once everyone is back from the holiday weekend. Remember that a lot of schools have started moving their OCI's up to early August. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030743&forum_id=2#12129655) |
