SPRING ON-CAMPUS INTERVIEWING (OCI)

STUDENT APPLICATION PERIOD NOW OPEN!

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Tuesday, February 20 @ Noon

Find this year’s opportunities under the OCI tab in Symplicity

 

What is Spring OCI?

Spring OCI is an annual hiring program open to 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, and LLM students. Many employers use Spring OCI to hire for Summer 2024 positions for 1L and 2L students. Other employers have posted potential school year and post-grad positions for 3Ls and LLMs. 26 employers are currently participating in the program and employer registration is still open. Make sure to routinely check for any new employers joining.

 

How Do I Apply?

Students apply to Spring OCI positions through Symplicity. Log in and access the 2024 Spring OCI opportunities through the OCI tab; you will be able to view the opportunities specific to your class level. Once you identify opportunities you are interested in, you will apply to each opportunity individually. You will upload your application materials to Symplicity and then can submit them to each specific opportunity.

 

What is the Spring OCI Timeline?

The student application period is now open and will close on Tuesday, February 20 @ noon. After the deadline closes, employers will receive application materials for review. Students will be alerted of interview offers on Wednesday, February 28 and will have until Noon on Thursday, February 29 to sign up for an interview. Interviews (either in-person at school or virtually) will be held March 5 – 7.  *Note: if an employer is marked as ‘Resume Collect’ that means they will interview according to their own timeline and will directly contact selected students themselves.

 

Your Application Materials Matter!

The materials you submit to an employer serve as your first impression. Make sure it’s a good one! Work with a CPD counselor on your materials and start by reviewing CPD’s Preparing Materials page and aligning your materials with our suggestions and guidance.

 

CPD Document Review Policy Reminder

Our goal is to review and return your documents with comments and suggestions as quickly as possible. During peak OCI (like now) we receive significantly more requests and may require up to 5 business days to provide feedback. Be sure to plan ahead and allow ample time to receive and implement our feedback before a deadline.

 

How Do I Download My Transcript?

Some employers will request that you submit your law school transcript as part of your application materials.  Unless otherwise specified, an “Unofficial Transcript” is appropriate. Follow the simple steps below to properly download your transcript:

  1. Go to My Seattle U and sign in
  2. Click “Academics”
  3. Scroll down and click “Unofficial Transcript”, then click on “Law Transcript”
  4. This creates a pdf text page of your transcript that you can download and save to submit as your transcript for applications
