Interviews

Who can interview?

Although students and alumni from any law school can participate in the open Table Talk, only students from NW Consortium schools can apply for pre-scheduled interviews.

How to apply.

1. Add the Career Fair “Course” page(s) through Westlaw’s TWEN.
   • Students:  the confirmation email you receive from registering contains the password needed to add these “Course” pages.
   • Alumni:  the confirmation email you receive from registering contains instructions on requesting a TWEN guest account.
2. Click “Submit Applications Here” on the left side of the Fair TWEN page for the city you are interested in to load the Assignment Dropbox.
3. Click on the name of the position you are interested in to load that position.
4. Be sure to use the link on the position page to read the job posting for specific details (ie: job description, qualifications, etc).
5. Click on the “Submit Assignment” button to load the submission page.
6. Click the “Browse” button and select the single pdf of your application materials.
   
   
   • A cover letter and resume in a single pdf file are the only application materials.
   • pdf creation is built into newer versions of Word and the print system in MacOS. Free Windows programs for creating pdf files are available at: http://www.pdf995.com/ or http://www.cutepdf.com/).
   • Your name will be automatically added to your submission by TWEN.
7. Click the “Submit” button to finalize your application.You can ignore the “Message to Course Administrator” box when submitting applications. Anything entered in this box will be discarded.
8. When the assignment list loads, verify that your submission is noted with a date and time below the position name.
9. Repeat 2 through 8 for each position you are interested in.

You can re-submit materials for any position, but only the last uploaded file will be sent to the employer; this is why it is important that your application be a single pdf file.

 The application deadline for pre-selected interviews is 11:59 pm, Monday, January 16, 2012. 

Interview selection.

Students and alumni will be notified by January 27, 2012 whether they have been selected for an interview.  Some employers will select alternates to receive interviews should space become available.

By January 30 2012, you must confirm that you can attend your interviews.

Attending your interview.

Be sure to check in at the career fair at least ten minutes prior to your first interview time. If you do not check in, your interviews will be given to alternates if available.

At interview time, students and alumni will be released into the interview room as a group.
