Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I get through the construction? All interviews and
hospitality suites will occur in the Lawyers Club. Due to construction, however, there will only be one entrance into the Lawyers Club/ Law Quad located at the northeast corner near South University Ave. and Tappan Ave. Please see the
campus map to assist you in navigating your way to the building
- Do I need to check in when I arrive? No.
- OCP, where art thou? Counselors will be in rooms C2-435 and C2-450.
- How do I find out my interview’s name, interview time, or interview room? From the OCI tab in Symplicity, click on "Scheduled Interviews" and the "Interview Date" to see the name of your interviewer. Your interviewer’s name is on the left side of the screen under the title "OCI Interview." The interviewer names under "Schedule Details" on the right side of the screen are other interviewers coming to campus on behalf of the firm. See page 20 of the EIW Guide 2017 for screen shots.
- Where do I get lunch? Lunch is not provided, but K&E is open. There is also an abundance of food, coffee, soda (aka pop), cookies, and swag in the
hospitality suites.
- Can I sign-up for more interviews? Yes, you may sign up for interview slots beginning at 7 a.m. on the day of the interview by writing your name into open slots on the schedule posted on the door (3Ls: Only sign up with firms where the interview schedule on the employer’s door indicates they are interviewing 3Ls.)
Remember, to keep things fair for everyone, you must sign up yourself (in person) and can only sign up for interview slot times for which you are free. If you write your name on a schedule and then cross it off, you may be assessed the $50 no-show fee and will need to email the employer to apologize for canceling. Bring a copy of your transcript and your resume to any interview you sign up for because employers will not have received them beforehand.
- Can I drop an interview? Unless an emergency (e.g., you are in the hospital), or other compelling circumstance arises (e.g., you accept a job offer made outside of EIW), you should not need to cancel any interviews after the second drop period on July 27.
Interviews must be canceled by 4 p.m. on Monday, August 7 to avoid a $25 cancellation fine for each interview (donated to support SFF). In the case of an emergency, please notify OCP as soon as possible. If you must cancel an interview due to an emergency, we strongly encourage you to email the employer an apology within 3 business days. “No shows” and same-day cancellations are unacceptable in nearly every instance. This behavior is unprofessional, is a disservice to employers and other students, and reflects poorly on the Law School. Accordingly, you will be charged an additional $50 fee for missing a scheduled interview without notifying OCP before 4 p.m. the day before your interview.
