Georgetown Law graduatesThe Office of Career Strategy (OCS), Office of Public Interest and Community Service (OPICS) and Office of Graduate Careers (OGC) work to provide Georgetown Law alumni with lifelong career development support and opportunities. Services for alumni include counseling appointments (including mock interviews), resume and cover letter review and internal and external job search resources.

Alumni Advising

Georgetown University Law Center graduates who are thinking about a job or career change are encouraged to make an appointment to talk to a career advisor.

Important Scheduling Note

We use our Symplicity system to manage appointments. The below appointment links will direct you to the relevant site. If you do not have your netID to sign in to Symplicity, please use this one-page explanatory resource to establish a netID and then access the scheduling site. (Note: your netID will also grant you access to web resources and the job bank hosted in Symplicity).

IMPORTANT: All students and alumni are now required to use DUO as another level of security for accessing restricted resources.  You will need to download the DUO app to your mobile device.  DUO is required upon logging into any Georgetown sites and Symplicity.

J.D. Alumni

We invite JD alumni who are seeking positions or are planning a career change to make an appointment with one of our alumni advisors. Advisors will work with you to define your goals, develop your job search strategy, research potential employers, review your application materials, and hone your networking and interview skills.

We aim to provide support for whatever job search and career transition issues that may arise. Our ability to offer continuous and regular support may be limited by the volume of alumni seeking our services. Every effort will be made to provide individual alumni with resources, contacts, and procedural guidance in each meeting to allow them to continue the search independently and/or with the support of other industry professionals.

Appointments are available during most times of the year to discuss a variety of job and career transition issues. During certain times of the year, the availability of one-on-one counseling may be limited due to major OCS, Law School or University events, as well as professional staff schedules.

All Alumni appointments and services are offered virtually by Zoom or phone.
