Anyone have any idea how many spots are available in smaller markets like Atlanta?

It sounded to me like this is only because they hired a new program director, not because it's now a two-part interview process.20171lhopeful wrote:yup, with that in mind, we should probably just add that SEO is a two interview process to the OP for future URMsslurp wrote:Sounds like we are not special and everyone gets a second interview

guys make sure you check the timezone of your interview.....i noticed that i scheduled for april 2 12pm central time but my confirmation scheduled me for april 14 5pm pacific time which is actually two hours behind where i live......so just make sure you guys check the time zone because it might have changed on the conformation.

+1 the email just sounded like there's a new director who wants to speak with everyone before she makes decisions, which makes sense.. if she's the final say on the application decisions, she probably wants to make sure she knows who she's saying yes to?sfn91 wrote:It sounded to me like this is only because they hired a new program director, not because it's now a two-part interview process.20171lhopeful wrote:yup, with that in mind, we should probably just add that SEO is a two interview process to the OP for future URMsslurp wrote:Sounds like we are not special and everyone gets a second interview

I just wsnt to know what I am doing this summer

Re: 2016-2017 SEO Corporate Law Applicants (Summer 2017)
I have the impression that the program is administrated sloppy so I'm not necessarily surprised. Well, at least the application and interview process.chasima wrote:+1 the email just sounded like there's a new director who wants to speak with everyone before she makes decisions, which makes sense.. if she's the final say on the application decisions, she probably wants to make sure she knows who she's saying yes to?sfn91 wrote:It sounded to me like this is only because they hired a new program director, not because it's now a two-part interview process.20171lhopeful wrote:yup, with that in mind, we should probably just add that SEO is a two interview process to the OP for future URMsslurp wrote:Sounds like we are not special and everyone gets a second interview

Yes, very unprofessional and poorly executed. If it weren't for the substantial salary, I would have already been scared away.poptart123 wrote:

Are you a k-jd? I assume. A k-jd with limited experiences would not have noticed.renc56 wrote:

I've had multiple interviews before for various prestigious and non prestigious programs.
I honestly felt that the hiring process at best buy was many levels above SEO. My only hope is that the training isn't just as lackluster.
But bby only paid $9.

I haven't even interviewed with SEO yet but unfortunately I've applied to jobs and college-level fellowships that were generally unprofessional (like an hour late to a Skype interview -_-). I set my interview with SEO early in case it runs over/they are late.

My bad, didn't mean to jab at you. I'm on mobile, and it added a period after assume. I was assuming why a kjd would not notice. I wasn't try to call you a k-jd.renc56 wrote:

Still did, but it's ok. It's not like you went through my posts to figure out I wasn't (which would have been kinda creepy).Nacho_Verde wrote:My bad, didn't mean to jab at you.

I'm not surprised that SEO is unprofessional tbh since they're a "program" for graduate programs which I've noticed tend to be understaffed and have a large volume of applications. At least it cannot be as bad as waiting an hour for a Skype interview despite setting up the interview in a specific time and time zone...and not even getting the program.

My interviewer tried to reschedule the interview an hour before we were supposed to have it, I told her I couldn't as I had work that made it impossible, so instead she was just late and cut the interview time in half. I do think they are just understaffed but also they aren't the most professional. Even the way she was emailing me about changing the time seemed very unprofessional, and she even came off a bit rude because I couldn't accommodate her last minute request.

Re: 2016-2017 SEO Corporate Law Applicants (Summer 2017)
Jajaja, Yup same feeling here. It felt like one of those interviews where they have already filled the spot and you're just there to make it look like it wasn't an inside hirer. I've been on the other side of an interview, and I have always tried to engage and give due respect to all the candidates.call-me-bubbles wrote: Could you elaborate?

I was somewhat insulted afterwards.
Had this been an interview for a mom and pop place, I wouldn't mind. But these people claim to be top tier, require a test score be submitted, a personal statement, resume, and often require acceptance to a top school. So yea, bad taste.

Yeah that all sounds really bad/makes me really excited for my interview now.
I guess after this cycle is over, it'd be good to ask for an anonymous survey to talk about these issues without it penalizing any of us.
