Even if you didn't land an interview, you can still do Table Talk - some people have landed gigs that way. Registration is open til the 9th: http://equaljusticeworks.org/law-school ... r/students

Um, what? You mean decisions to interview? I.e. Oct 1 is meaningless?

I only think that's worth it under very specific scenario similar to the below:

1. You see a lot of employers you want to talk to that won't be in your area (6+)
2. You really think you can kill it trying to convince some one to hire you in a room full of loud people
3. You approach the event as a learning experience because you like the informational programs they offer

Otherwise, while there may be that small chance of the perfect conversation that leads to a job, it's almost certainly not worth the time/money. You're better off just networking in your area.

Does anyone have any insight into some effective strategies at table talk? I read the website saying to have a 30-second opener, etc - but I'm just wondering about some overall effective "hey I'm so great you should hire me" tactics.

Yes. That's what I mean. See last years thread.

EDIT: SOME employers did this. Clearly, not all..

does anyone know if its possible to switch your interview time? or is it locked in once you pick one?

Unless the other time slots have already been filled, you should be able to switch times. For one of my interviews, I changed the time around several times.

Selected for interview with Sierra Club

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Tue Sep 29, 2015 6:51 pm

If I applied for a (3L) interview with an employer, and haven't heard back yet or have been dinged, I can still apply through the employer's regular hiring process, right?

Not really. I remember a lot of places last year made their selections on the deadline. I think I applied to 6 places last year and 5 got back to me on the deadline, and 1 the day after.
