Mass mailing or diversity scholarships?

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Jul 28, 2011 2:56 pm

Hi everyone,

Just to confirm what mass mailing means.. it's just emailing law firms and hopefully get something outside of OCI, right?

So I was just wondering, what do you guys think is a more worthwhile use of time, emailing them, or looking for those firms that have diversity scholarships and applying to them.

Thanks!

This should not be an either/or decision.

Contact your career services office and find out what firms have diversity programs. Use Google for the same purpose.

Apply to diversity programs at firms that have them.

Send resume/cover letter/etc. to firms that don't.
