Which interviews to cancel?
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2012 9:34 pm
3.67, TLR, UT, ties to Bay Area, CA and East Texas (I have already cancelled Perkins, Chicago and Skadden, NY). I would like to end up in NY but would settle for Houston. I have about 7 preselects that did not make it onto my interview list and tons of alternates, so I have room to cancel. All 23 of the below are preselects.
At the NY job fair, interviewers seemed pretty skeptical of my desire to be in NY since my resume mostly has Texas on it. I want to cancel the interviews at which I am a reach based on my numbers (and lack of ties) to maximize my chances of getting callbacks. I have marked a few in bold that I am thinking of canceling.
