Have you gotten a callback? I would think it would be the same -- unnecessary. I can see sending one to anyone you really hit it off with at the firm though.Anonymous User wrote:For the post-clerkship hunt, what is the etiquette for sending thank you notes to interviewers following callbacks?
FWIW, I didn't send thank yous during the OCI process, and am now reapplying to essentially the same big firms.

I was under the impression it was so easy to get a job after a clerkship. I'm starting to feel like this is going to be challenging.

Don't despair (yet)! Maybe the floodgates open after mid-levels complete their shuffling and firms re-evaluate. At least that is what I want to tell myself.

do firms call judges during the interview process?

Re: 2016-17 Post-Clerkship Hiring Thread
I had a firm that I am applying to ask me for a list of references, for which I asked my judge if I could list her, and she said yes. I imagine that if I end up with an interview, they might call her. Otherwise, I don't think it would be appropriate for them to call without you first listing the judge as a reference.Anonymous User wrote:do firms call judges during the interview process?
That being said, if they do ask for references and you don't list your judge, that's usually a red flag.
