Employ Me!

The halls are clogged with sweaty students in suits. Every year, for a few weeks in February and March, a number of law firms set up shop in the Career Services office and interview potential interns. I've had two interviews so far and have three scheduled for next week (two on campus, one off). The on campus interviews are unlike any job interview I've experienced before. Students are cranked through every twenty minutes, so the interviewers barely have time to run through the particulars of the job they're filling. Then it's a few perfunctory questions and away you go. I see now why employers are said to rely mostly on applicants' GPAs.
