-------------------------------------------

GIP is a unique opportunity for Georgetown students to interview for paid summer and entry-level positions with government agencies.

GIP is a “pre-screened” program, which means that participating employers review candidates’ resumes and then select the students they wish to interview.

Employer research and bidding, resume upload, interview selection notification, and self-determined interview scheduling will be conducted online via Symplicity.

Symplicity opens for bidding: Monday, July 30 at 12:00 pm (noon)

Bidding Deadline: Thursday, August 9 at 6:00 pm

Scheduling Cancellation Policy

1. If you bid for an employer and are selected for an interview, but no longer want to meet with that employer, do not sign up for an interview slot and you will be automatically canceled from consideration.
2. If you need to cancel an interview for which you signed up, you must send an email to opics@law.georgetown.edu by 9:00 am three (3) business days prior to the interview day.
   • September 11 interviews must be canceled by 9:00 am Thursday, September 6 (Note: alternates cannot cancel interviews for September 11)
   • September 17 interviews must be canceled by 9:00 am Wednesday, September 12.

We encourage students to carefully consider their GIP bids as there are limited interview opportunities through this program. Under no circumstances may you just "skip" an interview.

 

The GIP Student Instruction Booklet contains important information on researching and bidding for employers as well as instructions on resume upload, interview notification and interview scheduling.
