We are pleased to report that the School of Law will host its Fifth Annual Portland Interview Program, a day of coordinated employment interviews, at the Governor Hotel in Portland on Friday, March 5. This program reaches out to smaller legal employers in the Portland area that don't ordinarily interview on campuses. By offering a day of interviews in Portland, we hope to provide students an opportunity to connect with these kinds of employers, who are looking for summer law clerks or associates for the fall. We hope to have 15-20 employers interested in looking at student resumes and expect most of these will interview students. Based on past experience, employers who participate will be looking either for 2Ls for summer or for 3Ls for next fall.
First years are, though, welcome to apply.
We expect to have information on prospective employers later this month and will let you know as soon as this information is available. The Portland program works much like our fall on-campus interview program. As soon as we have information on participating firms, we will post that information in the Career Services Office. Interested students will need to bring to the Career Services Office a cover letter and resume for each employer they wish to apply to. We forward resumes and cover letters to the employers.
