Hey-- Good Job, CSO!

One idea that people have had over the past months is to extend Baylor's job placement by having initial interviews in places like Dallas and Houston. Well, it sounds like Heather and the CSO is moving in that direction! Here is the notice that went out yesterday:

Baylor Law School will be hosting its first Off-Campus Interviewing Program this spring. Through this program, Dallas area employers can prescreen resumes of new graduates (people who have graduated or will be graduating in Nov. ’07, Feb. ’08, May ’08 and July ’08) and select up to 20 people to interview. All interviews are held in the employers’ offices on one date – Tuesday, May 6, 2008. There is no cost to participate.

Important Dates:

April 11, 2008 Employer Registration Deadline.

April 16, 2008 Student resumes will be batched and e-mailed to employers for review.

April 23, 2008 Deadline for employers to select students for interviews.

April 25, 2008 Employers can view final interview schedules.

May 6, 2008 Baylor Off-Campus interviews held in employers’ offices.

To Register:

Reply to this e-mail or call Ms. Monica Wright, Career Services Office Manager, at 254.710.1210.



Don’t miss this chance to interview some of the best new attorneys in the state! Please contact our Asst. Dean, Heather Creed, at 254.710.7617 or Heather_Creed@baylor.edu with any questions. We hope to see you Tuesday, May 6, 2008!

Definitely a step in the right direction!
Good Job CSO!!
 
Great job, CSO!
 
Sounds like good news.
 
at the employer's offices?
 
As a person who has been searching desperately (yes, desperately as I live with my parents) for a DFW position, I have to admit that this email renewed my faith in the career services office. I'm a February grad in the top 15% and have really been struggling to even get an interview. I feel like someone finally heard us and got it right here.
 
employer's offices? - sounds like inviting oneself over to a friend's house. why is Baylor so darn cheap?
 
I doubt it has anything to do with cost. The CSO is actually being smart about this. It's EASIER for the FIRMS who are the ones doing the hiring. The lawyers who need to interview people don't have to leave their offices for a day to go hang out somewhere, wasting billable hours and precious time between interviews. The students come to them, making it easier for the prospective employers and making them happy and probably more willing to do this again in the future.
