Talking like that gives off the impression that you are uneducated, even if you are educated. If a firm is scared to have you interact with a bank or company because they are afraid of what the executives at that bank will think, you won't get hired. Whatever you want to say about what you can bring to the table, a potential employer won't be able to get past the way you speak. And, certainly, you have to know more about the job market than you are letting on. An accomplished resume gets you an interview, an interview gets you a job. You may well get a lot of interviews, you won't get any jobs speaking like that.UnTouChablE wrote:Fuck is wrong wit ya? Are you assuming am not educated because of the way I talk?

Anyways, I figure you are trolling, so we can stop now.
Something is wrong with you. Shit, its okay to have preconceived notions but you are being ridiculous.

Re: Just visited some friends at GULC
Unfortunately, Patriot has a point. The legal industry is overwhelmingly (though fortunately not exclusively) populated by appearance-obsessed dipshits who attach more value to an image of whitebread Northeastern success than just about anything else. So yeah, if you're trying to get a job, especially at a big firm, appearance really is everything.UnTouChablE wrote:Appearances are 'everything', who da fuck told you this?

Fortunately, though, Patriot is probably also right when he says that you're just fooling around on this forum and can control the image you project to others.

You have to be stupid, there is just no getting around it. Do you honestly think these TLSers are attacking my ideas expressed in this thread? If so, which ideas would that be exactly?

TLSers have a problem, not necessarily wit mafakas that don't think like them but wit ppl that don't act/talk like them. Am okay wit it, being a part of the forum/life, it comes wit da territory. Either you speak and accept sum shit or you shut up.
Don't ask me dumbass questions like 'why do you keep saying we?' when any half-wit can see why I say we. Its 'we' ppl that don't act like the 'Patriot' expect 'educated' people to act. Same mafakas that see you at the mall sagging and wanna talk shit, its fine but don't try and play me with those kind of questions, its insulting.

Re: Just visited some friends at GULC
So what is the point of misspelling words on an internet forum? I mean, I understand if you talk like that in person, that's your deal, liguistics and speech styles, whatever. But is it just to demonstrate your cultural authenticity to others on this forum? Obviously you're literate enough that you know how to spell, and are not actually just piecing things together phonetically as best you can, though that's what it looks like. It's not even your choice of words, which I think do an adequate job of conveying your cultural identity, but the intentional misspelling of those words that I have a hard time seeing the point in.
Also, I'm just patronizing you as you're obviously trolling. However, your trolling is marginally more entertaining that many others', so I encourage you to keep it up. However, this thread will probably end up getting locked if it doesn't die.

Re: Just visited some friends at GULC
lol you can still answer them. I'm assuming EIW is referring to OCI, or something similar? Well, oddly enough your estimate of 30-40% could very well be accurate, but I still think that's a far cry from "getting OCI pwned", especially when there's nothing to indicate that GULC has been hit harder than other schools. The idea that OCI just seems to be worse off since with more graduates there are numerically more horror stories about people striking out makes sense to me.UnTouChablE wrote: I agree or get moved which is even more annoying.

I don't even really think I want biglaw, so their placement in that area is not a huge deal to me, beyond it's being a rough indicator of general placement ability.

EIW is early interview week which is the start of OCI. It does not include all of the interviews (not sure if it includes most).Marionberry wrote:lol you can still answer them.

I'm pretty sure he was saying that placing 30-40% via EIW is a ridic notion (and I'd tend to agree though I don't know much about how EIW stacks up versus the rest of OCI).

Re: Just visited some friends at GULC
I've heard as low as 25-30% from GULC 3L's. Hard to tell I suppose. Everyone I know landed something despite striking out at OCI though. Even if that meant taking a job back in their home market that, though well paying, wouldn't necessarily have been on their radar pre ite. I think that's the nature of things though. Every hiring partner I've talked to has made some mention of a general trickle down that's resulted in Chicago, GULC, UVA, etc... students gunning for markets they wouldn't normally dream of unless they were really home sick.UnTouChablE wrote:I agree or get moved which is even more annoying.
