Waiting for a Call Back

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Aug 13, 2014 1:47 pm

Hi, so i'm not sure if I did well in my OCI interview or not. It was a partner and a 2nd year associate interviewing me. So here's a quick rundown of what happened:
Parter said he remembered seeing my Resume and asked my about my work on The Hill - he worked on The Hill as well
He told me looking at your resume, you have a lot of exciting jobs
He said that I was the first person to state that I was interested in Appellate Work (I interviewed 3rd or 4th to last)

Anyway, I read some where that call backs happen a day or two from the interview and I also read somewhere that they usually callback 25 percent of the people they interviewed. In my case, it would be 2-3 kids.

I'm just trying to get a general idea on how long do call backs usually happen. I honestly don't have my hopes up with these people as I am not on journal and what not, but my grades are strong.

You shouldn't talk about wanting appellate work. It's not very realistic.

Literally impossible to predict. Make sure you are applying for every opportunity under the sun.
