Re: Pre-OCI Mailings when almost all firms are coming to OCI?
By only mailing the firms/offices that are NOT coming to your OCI. Simple enough.

Re: Pre-OCI Mailings when almost all firms are coming to OCI?
+1 to kaiser. Look for firms that either aren't coming or are outside the V100 but still pay what you want and practice what you want and go from there.shadow. wrote:I'm at GULC and it seems like almost all of the V100 firms will be attending OCI. Certainly almost all of the DC/NY firms, the cities in which I'm primarily interested.
I finished a bit better than top 10%, so I wasn't planning on sending out hundreds of apps, but the advice that I keep reading on here is not to rely solely on OCI. I also have read not to mail firms coming to OCI. How do I reconcile this advice?
Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions/advice!

Re: Pre-OCI Mailings when almost all firms are coming to OCI?
should mailings be done via e-mail or regular mail?

Email. Almost every firm lists out the proper contact with email address on their website.UVAHoo2013 wrote:should mailings be done via e-mail or regular mail?

Re: Pre-OCI Mailings when almost all firms are coming to OCI?
Every single recruiter I've ever asked recommended electronic. They said they love saving some paper, ensuring that the apps are stored electronically, saving space, etc. A mailroom full of hard copy applications would be pretty inconvenient for them.KeepitKind wrote:is this credited? firms list the proper contact with a mailing address, as well.Email.

They often have their preference on their website. I would look there. I have never seen the preference not be email.

Re: Pre-OCI Mailings when almost all firms are coming to OCI?
Unless you are completely horrible at interviewing, you will get a job through OCI, even ITE. Spend the time now learning more about all the different firms, so when you have 6-8 interviews/day, then back-to-back callbacks, you won't have to stress as much about learning some talking points for the interviews. Plus, it'll be helpful once you receive offers and are trying to determine where to go.shadow. wrote:I'm at GULC...I finished a bit better than top 10%
Note: I realize this goes against the TLS attitude of "no one is safe!! impossible to get jobs!!" but really, top-10% at a T14 gets offers. No need to mass mail.
