Fall 2008 Recruiting Programs

We are happy to help you recruit Georgetown Law students and alumni for your summer, academic year and permanent positions. Below you will find information on our recruiting programs. Please do not hesitate to contact us at (202) 662-9655 or opics@law.georgetown.edu to discuss your unique hiring needs.

 

Government Interview Program (GIP):
Each fall, the Office of Public Interest and Community Service sponsors a Government Interview Program for federal, state and local government agencies to interview Georgetown students for paid summer and permanent positions.  The 2008 program will be held September 17 & 18, 2008.  Registration information for employers will be available beginning May 2, 2008.

 

The Georgetown/George Washington Law School Public Sector Recruiting Program:
January 31, 2009 at the GW Marvin Center, and a Resume Collect option for employers unable to attend in person.

Every February, our schools co-sponsor the Public Sector Recruiting Program, which includes over 100 local and national public sector employers.  Participating employers recruit Georgetown and GW law students through pre-scheduled interviews, resume collections and informal information exchange.

 

Virtual Job Fair

New in 2007, the Public Sector Virtual Job Fair is a "high tech" job fair that occurs entirely online. Employers' opportunities are highlighted to students during a designated time period utilizing Symplicity, a web based recruiting system. Whereas traditional job fairs require employers and students to reserve time to travel and meet one another, the Virtual Job Fair offers greater flexibility for students and employers to connect:

• Employers were promoted to students during the busy fall recruiting season: October, 2007.
• Employers received candidates' cover letters and resumes in one electronic package, on November 1, 2007, in contrast to the sporadic receipt of applications from postings on job listing databases.
• Employers could contact students and interview them at their convenience, by telephone or in person.

Employer registration for Fall 2008 will open on Symplicity in August, 2008.
