CDO: Some Career Resources for 1Ls
The CDO’s 1Ls webpage: links to a host of information (including a comprehensive list of 1L FAQs) relating to your summer and career options.
Career Counseling: If you would like to discuss your career options and/or job search strategies, schedule an appointment with a CDO attorney-counselor online, call 642-4567, or come by our office - 290 Simon.
Resume and Cover Letter reviews: First-year students interested in receiving advice on resumes and cover letters should read our Resume and Cover Letter Writing Guides, attempt a first draft of a legal resume, and then meet with a CDO attorney-cousnelor to review it.
NOTE: we have cleared our appointment schedules to conduct quick drop-in resume reviews on the mornings of November 14th, 17th and 18th (9 a.m. to noon) on a first-come, first-served basis.
The b-Line: a career services application that allows you to do employer research, apply for/bid on interview slots during Spring and Fall On-Campus Interview Programs and, most importantly for this semester, search job listings from employers targeting Boalt students and, for many, submit application materials online. A quick link to the b-Line can be found on the CDO homepage.
NOTE: The b-Line also contains a searchable database of summer employment evaluations from prior classes. A quicklink to Summer Evaluations appears on the b-Line homepage.
Summer Public Interest Fellowships webpage: a resources page that will help you figure out how to fund summer voluntary internship work with government or public interest employers.
NB: NALP guidelines indicate that first-year students and employers should not initiate contact with each other before December 1.
