A significant percentage of the employers choose to divide their interview schedule between 2Ls and 3Ls, but most of those choose to see twice as many 2Ls as 3Ls. Please remember that some additional employers will almost certainly be registering later this summer, and that one or two of the employers who have already registered will for one reason or another cancel their plans to interview here, sometimes at the last minute. The OCI period has been divided into four phases, depending on the date of the on-campus interview. Phase One employers, for example, are those who will be interviewing on campus from September 10 through September 14. The period of time during which students must bid to try to obtain an interview with Phase One employers is August 13 through August 22nd.
Phases are the same length, and that some bid periods are much shorter than others.
Therefore, be sure to carefully research the employers before you bid. You won't want to waste any of your 15 bids on employers that don't interest you, or whose hiring criteria you don't satisfy. When the bid period for a particular Phase ends, the Career Services Office Federal Expresses the resumes of all students who've bid to interview with employers in that Phase to the various employers. The employers fax us the names of the students they have preselected. Students who have been selected for interviews will be notified by email and asked to sign up for an interview time.
