Please review the participating lists of MLSC and October OCI employers (the latter can be found on BU Symplicity.) Terrific opportunities have been added, so be sure to bid by the following deadlines:
If it has been more than a week since your callback was held, you are welcome to reach out to the employer to reiterate your interest. However, while it is fine to follow up, please know that not all firms will be in a position to respond immediately.
It is critical that you respond within 24 hours to any communication from an employer regarding a callback invitation or job offer. (You do not have to accept or decline within that timeframe, but politely acknowledge receipt and let them know you will be in touch as soon as you make a decision.) Non-responsiveness is unprofessional, and inconsiderate of the firm's time. If it is more comfortable or logistically feasible to respond to a voicemail by email (ex: while you're at work or not in a location where a call can be made), feel free to do so.
Please contact the CDO if you have any questions, and remember to affirmatively withdraw your candidacy from any firms that you have decided you will not be accepting an offer from.
If you do not receive callback invitations, there are several proactive steps you can take:
We are here to support you in your next steps - please schedule an appointment via Symplicity to discuss one or more of the above options, by phone or in person.
This is a quick reminder that students may not hold open more than 5 offers at any one time; you must promptly release the sixth (or more) offer out of courtesy to both the firms and your classmates, and to narrow your focus on deciding between your top-choice employers. Please reach out to the CDO if you have any questions about this policy.
Remember, please do not send thank-you notes after screening interviews. You will send individually-tailored thank-you notes to the attorneys and recruiting staff you meet with during callbacks. Please do not send LinkedIn requests to any interviewer.
Please reach out to your CDO advisor with any questions.
The Boston Young Alumni Council would like to be a resource for students as we approach OCI.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to Evelyn Limon ('17), Associate at Mintz (evelyn.limon@gmail.com), or Jared Shwartz ('14), Associate at Hinckley Allen (jshwartz@hinckleyallen.com) with questions or for advice.
Please note that the Bid Deadline for the NYC Off-Campus Recruitment Program has been extended 24 hours. Bids will now close on Wednesday, July 3rd at 12:00 NOON EST in TLC Symplicity.
*Please note that this 24 hour extension is ONLY for the NYC Program.
The bid deadline for BU On Campus Interviews is still tomorrow, Tuesday July 2nd at 12:00 NOON EST.
You are highly encouraged to submit your bids well in advance of these deadlines. Submitting in advance will give you time to re-upload your documents in case of any technical glitches.
These deadlines are strict, so changes to your bids will not be allowed after this time.
No. If an attorney encourages you to submit your materials, do so as early as possible without sacrificing the quality of your submission (have your CDO advisor provide feedback, make sure to do a final proofread, etc.) It's advantageous to be seen early in the process where that opportunity has been extended to you!
