2011 NYU PILC Fair Thread
Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:58 pm
As those of you participating probably know, the PILC fair initial interviews were released a while ago. I saw that in previous years they had a thread like this, so I figured I would start one.
School: NYU
# Applied for: 29
# of Interviews you got: 8 interviews, 6 alternate (1 alternate due to scheduling conflict, 5 waitlist)
Cover letters? Yes, for every job. Put a lot of work into each letter (though some naturally overlapped)
Market(s): 2 DC, 1 death penalty appeal organization in the South, rest NYC
Areas of Focus Applied to: All over the map. Death penalty appeals, legal services, labor law, voting rights, city and federal government
Notes/Advice for Future Participants: Don't waste 6 slots by not getting enough resumes uploaded in time. You can change your uploaded resume later, although it was not clear at what point it got submitted to the employer.
