Dropped off my resume and transcript at hospitality suites during OCI. Should I also mass mail these firms or does the drop suffice?
The NLJ 350 is locked content, how do I get access to this list? are there similar lists elsewhere?
edit: wikipedia has it -_-

Good point. I'm thinking of volunteering or clerking for a few months and then apply to job postings or mass mail if I passed the CA bar. Worst case scenario, being a (volunteer) attorney still counts as getting experience and in a year or two maybe I can lateral to a small/mid firm.
I just don't feel like no bar license + no grades will help. Just want to confirm that so I don't waste time contacting firms until I have a bar license at least. I had one interview from a firm I applied to during bar study, but I fucked that up, so now I'm stuck.

I'm not saying i'm expecting a screener or a CB (I know the yield is low) but I guess I at least expected a "we are reviewing your application" or a request for more information. All I have received is about 12 or 13 form-response dings.
Something wrong or totally normal?
ETA: above median at a T10 so I don't think i'm an auto-ding.

Same anon as quoted. Another interview request after mass-mailing. It's DLA Piper, but something is better than nothing...

While it is the McDonalds of law firms, still pays market.

So pretty decent rate of return. Note that my school is nowhere near DC.
I'll be e-mailing some more alums after Labor Day and see what happens. I very much recommend this strategy to supplement your mass mail. Alums can help bring your resume to the top of the stack.

You should mail other offices. Different offices have different hiring concerns. They will likely know you got dinged by another office and that may make it harder, but it is certainly not impossible and it is certainly worth doing.
Anonymous User wrote:Did you also mail the recruiting office for all of these?
I thought about doing one or the other but ended up just going with mass mailing the person in charge of recruiting.
Anonymous User wrote:If emailing alums with resumes, should we just go to partners or stick with associates?
Also, re: the dropping off at hospitality suites/with the interviewer during OCI: Follow-up via email? If I dropped off with the interviewer, should I contact him/her or recruiting?

Should we mail different offices of the same firms we already mailed (e.g. Kirkland NYC and Chicago)? I feel like the answer to this is a yes. Just checking.

Doo eeet people. Quit asking questions and just do it.
