Alumni Network We are continuing to build our alumni base of contacts through mailings, receptions and personal visits. We now have over 600 alumni in 33 states. Any alumnus/a willing to assist a student in a geographical area is added to our alumni data base. Printouts of each geographical area are available in the Career Strategies office. 3. Job Postings The full-time and part-time/summer/judicial clerkship postings are now available on the Career Strategies’ home page. On-campus recruiting takes place in both the fall and spring. As a member of the Ohio Law Placement Consortium, the College of Law participates in a variety of joint recruiting projects throughout the year and serves as a liaison for students who wish to participate in other recruiting conferences across the country. 5. Telephone/Fax The telephone and fax machine in the file room in the career services are available to use if it is related to job searching. It is not recommended to fax a resume to an employer unless they have requested it to be faxed. You should always follow a faxed resume with a hard copy to an employer. Any personal fax will be $0.75 per page. 6. Workshops, Panels, Career-Related Programs A series of seminars is offered throughout the year on various topics of interest. In the fall, a series of workshops are offered to help students prepare for the job-search process. In addition to these programs, a Career Strategies orientation for first-year students is held late in the fall. 7. Newsletters Two separate newsletters are published on a monthly basis. The Alumni Bulletin is a job posting newsletter mailed to graduates. This newsletter is exchanged with over 100 other law schools. The Nexus is an internal newsletter published to keep students up-to-date on the Career Strategies activities and on job search articles. 8. Reciprocity A student may request a letter of reciprocity be sent to another law school so that he/she may use the services in that school. The guidelines for reciprocity are kept in our office because these vary depending on the school or the area. If you would like to use this service, just stop in the office. 9.
