Job Search / Re: canceling a callback
« on: October 18, 2008, 01:30:12 PM »
I am not ready to accent an offer yet. I still have to hear from 3 firms(none in that city). So does that suggest i should go since i cannot yet accept an offer?

Job Search / canceling a callback
« on: October 18, 2008, 12:59:11 PM »
So i have a callback on Tuesday in a city and with a firm that i am no longer interested in. Should i go on the callback? I made the plane reservations(no hotel) last weeks before i came to the conclusion that i do not want to be in that city, so i feel a little like a male private part for wanting to cancel, but it seems like a waste of money if i would not accept an offer with the firm.
Any advice on whether i should go or cancel on monday morning?

You're ugly. HTH.
Probably, but law students and lawyers tend to be pretty homely in general, particularly ones at big law firms. I would think that i would fit right in

5 outstanding(1 two weeks since callback, another 8 days since callback, 3 less than a week since callback). 5+ rejections, 4 interviews to go...all v100 firms if that matters at all...

So, I am faring a lot worse than the OP is and I don't know why. I'm at a top30 school, law review, top 10%. All of my callbacks(5+) interviews have gone well, no real mistakes that i can tell, and I have nothing to show for it. By the way the firms are running away from me, i almost feel like my background check must be coming back with a report that I am a child molester.
Most of my interviews tend to run over the 20-30 time allotment, the conversations are engaging(at least i feel that they are), and there has been no awkward responses or silence. I am interviewing in cities that I have strong connections to and always do a lot of research on the firm/interviewer.
So what gives? I guess i am "that guy" that brings down the callback-to-offer ratio. I am waiting to hear back from 5 firms and still have 4 more to go, but I am getting really worried at this point.

Job Search / Re: No response from a few pre-screening interviews, should I call to see what's up?

What about callback interviews?
There are two firms that I have not heard from either way. Now that i'm outside the time frame that they gave me to hear back, should I call or email the recruiting coordinator? Or leave it be?

Weil is going to be hit hard by this? I know they are covering their bankruptcy, but how much of weil's business depends on Lehmans?

Should i bring one copy of every document(references, resume, writing sample, and cover letter) for each person i will be interviewing with at a callback or one set per firm?
