Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones back with us to talk about how the OCI process will be different this year and what to do to prepare for upcoming virtual interviews.
In this episode we discuss:
- What could students and firms gain (or lose) from a virtual OCI process?
- Technology, dress code, and other logistics to consider for online interviews
- Will virtual hospitality suites be happening?
- Are firms going to wait for 3rd semester grades before making a decision?
- A comparison between now and the crisis of 2008, which also led to job cuts
- Are in-person callbacks a thing of the past?
- Being prepared to talk about how you’ve navigated virtual classes and the pandemic situation as a whole
