Individual Counseling
Career Development counselors will meet with students and alumni to review résumés and cover letters, conduct mock interviews, and talk about career goals/strategies.
How to Make Appointments
You can set up an appointment by calling or stopping by the Office for Career Development or you can email one of the counselors.
On-Campus Interview Program
Each fall and spring, the Office for Career Development hosts the On-Campus Interview (OCI) Program. OCI attracts law firms, government agencies, and public sector employers looking to hire students for summer and permanent positions.
Mock Interview Program
The Mock Interview Program occurs every year in preparation for OCI. All students are encouraged to participate; however, in order to participate in OCI students must complete a mock interview.
Lunch and Learn Programs
Lunch & Learns take place weekly, and consist of presentations provided by practicing attorneys, business etiquette experts, judges, and other professionals. In addition, Career Development counselors provide sessions regarding career-development topics such as networking, job search strategies, interviewing, and resume/cover letter formats.
Breezeway Chatter Program
As the natural center of the College of Law campus, the Cordero Breezeway is a place where students, faculty and staff interact daily. During the school year, the Breezeway Chatter Program helps make a Career Development counselor available twice a month in a prominent location in the Breezeway to answer career-related questions from students.
