Juice Collects Great Swag at OCI Employer Reception

The pressure is on to get my resume crap ready for OCI (On-Campus Interviews). It's hard to explain the intensity of the OCI process to those who aren't in law, but it's basically where second-year students try to get hired at the big firms, and only a small handful of people do, and it gets all competitive and weird. Plus there is a lot of work to do to get ready for it, so people get tired and crabby and that doesn't help the competitiveness/weirdness much at all. So, anyway, tonight there was a reception where we met representatives from a lot of the firms, and tomorrow we have to turn in resume packages, writing samples, etc. I have to write 10 cover letters tonight. (Yes, I don't know why, but I decided to apply to a bunch of places. Good interviewing practice, if nothing else). So I've got a lot of work to do and should stop blogging immediately.

I just wanted to report on the swag that was available at the reception tonight. Top prize goes to Dorsey for the padded ipod mini holders w/belt clip. Very classy and functional. Second prize goes to Robins for the eraseable highlighter. I think it's funny that they hand out all this stuff. It's not like they have to beg us to apply at their firms or anything. Those who are doing OCI are pretty much all salivating at the thought of employment in one of their swank downtown towers, and those who aren't interested in that aren't going to be convinced by a nifty highlighter. Well, whatever. See ya later.
