CURRENT STUDENTS: OCI and Resume Collect Employers Now Viewable on www.USFLawLink.com

Starting today, students who have submitted to the Office of Career Planning their Memo of Understanding (MOU) can now view descriptions of employers who will be participating in On Campus Interviews and Resume Collect programs this upcoming Fall Semester. MOUs can be submitted electronically via email attachment to lawcareer@usfca.edu, by fax at 415.422.6710, or in person at Kendrick 230. If your summer travels or other circumstances will make it difficult to submit this paperwork, please contact our office as soon as possible, so that we can work with you individually to obtain this documentation from you before any application submission process begins.

To provide an adequate time period for students to research employers and prepare their application materials, currently students are only able to view participating employer descriptions on www.USFLawLink.com. Students will be able to submit their applications online to organizations they wish to apply starting on Monday, July 20.

ONLY THE POSITIONS THAT APPLY TO YOUR CLASS LEVEL WILL BE VISIBLE TO YOU. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CLASS LEVEL IS CORRECT BY GOING TO THE "PROFILE" -> "ACADEMIC INFORMATION" SECTION.

Have your resume and one (1) cover letter reviewed by our counselors before July 20th by uploading them onto www.USFLawLink.com under the "Documents" section. Our counselors will provide feedback on your materials via email. Our office is also open for counseling appointments throughout the summer. Please call 415.422.6757 to schedule an appointment. Students not in the area or are unable to come on campus due to externships or their work schedule can also schedule phone appointments.

If you have any questions about any aspect of Fall Recruiting Season, please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions.
