Don't be a Day Late and a Dollar $hort!

Please join the Career Development Office for our “Critical Career Deadlines Program”

Tuesday, 2/9 at 12 pm and 5 pm

Faculty Study

 Don’t be a Day Late and a Dollar $hort! 

 

We will be covering 1L, 2L and 3L/4L timelines to ensure that you make the MOST of your law school experience!  We realize it’s difficult to keep track of all the job/internship application deadlines you face throughout law school, which is why we’re developed a written timeline to guide you.  You will have an opportunity to ask questions and will walk away with a better sense of where you are now and where you’re going.  This is critical, especially given today’s tough economy. 

 

We also have copies of the timeline available in our office or on our website at http://www.nsulaw.nova.edu/career/cs/publications.cfm. 

 

Make sure to attend either the day or evening session … Don’t be a Day Late and a Dollar $hort!

Interviewing for a Job? Avoid using cell phone or texting in the waiting room!!

Important Etiquette tip from the Culture and Manners Institute (http://www.cultureandmanners.com/):

There is one story that, when I tell it in a university setting, I can see the whites around the eyes of the students.

A woman approached me after a talk in Oklahoma and said, "I am the receptionist in my office. The hiring manager has asked me to keep an eye on the job candidates in the waiting room and report back to him which ones are talking on their cell phones, checking messages or texting. Those are the candidates we do not hire.

Avoid using your cell phone or text messaging while sitting in the waiting room before an interview or even a sales call (which is in itself, an interview). Take out a notebook and study your notes (for surely you have done your research on this company -- their leadership, mission statement, sales figures, etc.) Go over the answers to tricky questions in your head. Even if you usually review notes on your phone or PDA, use something else so you don't appear to be checking messages. Leave the impression that you are focused on the business at hand and not distracted by other things in your life.
