EIW FAQ - Should I send a thank you note to my on-campus EIW interviewer?
Posted by Laura Hosid at 1:38 PM - Categories: FAQs | Early Interview Week (EIW) | 2L/3E | 3L/4E
No. Employers uniformly tell us that they do not want or expect thank you notes after on-campus screening interviews. For screening interviews in a firm's office, a thank you note may be appropriate - check in with your counselor if you have any questions.

Callbacks for Public Service - Stay with family or friends and raise money for EJF!
Posted by Laura Hosid at 12:46 PM - Categories: Interviewing | Law Firms | Early Interview Week (EIW) | OCS / OPICS Programs | 2L/3E
The Callbacks for Public Service Program encourages students to consider staying with friends or family when traveling to callback interviews. A student participating in the program will notify participating firms that they have decided to stay with a friend or relative instead of at a hotel during the callback interview. In lieu of hotel expenses, a participating firm would agree to donate the equivalent cost of a hotel stay to Georgetown's Equal Justice Foundation (EJF), a student-run nonprofit organization that supports law students working in the public sector with grants and sponsorship. Students who participate may receive credit towards Equal Justice Foundation hours.
For more information, including a donation form and list of participating firms, please click here.

Maximize Your Chances of Finding a Summer Associate Position
As you have likely read or been advised, students who are interested in obtaining a summer associate position should not rely exclusively on Georgetown’s On-Campus Interview Programs. Students are encouraged to (1) submit their resumes to firms that are participating in Georgetown’s RFR (resume collect) program, (2) apply to summer associate job postings listed in Symplicity, and (3) write to firms that are not participating in any of Georgetown’s recruitment programs.
For example, a student interested in a summer associate position in California should explore the following opportunities at firms that are recruiting Georgetown students, but are not interviewing on-campus:
