UPCOMING PROGRAMS
OCI-Phase I Interviews
A. preparing
for the oci interview
How
soon prior to my interview will I know the interviewer's name so I can do
research?
While some employers provide interviewer names early in the bidding process,
others are unable to do so until shortly before the interview date. In
addition, it is possible that the information provided will change on the
day of the interview. Students should check Symplicity system as interviewer
names will be listed and updated as that information becomes available.
Where will the interview take place?
Interviews will take place in the CPC office or Law Library. For your
interview location, please check Symplicity. For further instruction on how
to view this information, please see the "Signing Up for Interviews" section
of the Student Guide to Symplicity. You should also check in
with the CPC front desk at least 10 minutes before your scheduled interview
as interview locations can change.
How long are the interviews?
Most interviews are 20 minutes in length but on occasion employers elect to
conduct longer interviews. The Symplicity system will let you know how long
your interview will last.
B. cancelling or rescheduling
an interview
If I have a last minute
emergency the day I am scheduled to interview can I make other arrangements
with the firm to interview at another time and place?
Yes, only if it is a serious emergency. Otherwise, there is no acceptable
reason to miss an
interview. The employer expects you to arrive for your interview as planned.
What constitutes an emergency?
Very serious issues such as death in the family, serious illness or
hospitalization, car accident, etc. are considered emergencies. If you are
unsure whether your situation can be deemed an emergency, please contact the
CPC and speak to an advisor.
What
is the appropriate attire to wear for an interview? What about jewelry, hair
and footwear?
Make it a point to dress professionally at all times. Although some
employers are less formal than others, the legal environment in general is
extremely conservative and the CPC wants to assist you in making an
excellent first impression. Be sure to take care of the basic hygiene
requirements prior to your interview. Also, this is not the time to show the
latest non-professional fashion trends.
Men:
DO wear suits or slacks with a
jacket, dress shirt and tie. Have a clean shave and
neat haircut.
DO NOT
wear shorts, jeans, or sneakers.
Women:
DO wear suits (pants or
skirts) or office dresses with a jacket. Hair, nails and make-up should be
neat and fresh.
DO NOT show bare arms,
sleeveless tops (except under suit jacket), cleavage, glitter or excessive
jewelry. No sundresses, shorts, or mini-skirts. No open-toe shoes.
The Fall 2007 OCI Handbook
(Phase II) will be
available in the CPC offices and online in August 2007.
If you have
any questions, comments or problems, please contact Nirva Pierre-Louis at
