Turning down CB, put in a good word for friend?

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Sep 19, 2014 7:19 pm

At a T17 and I accepted something already, but just got a CB via e-mail. I've got a friend who is still looking and who also mailed the firm. Should I recommend her to the recruiter for the CB in my stead? Or would that do more harm than good? Friend is okay with it.

She should just apply since she knows they're still looking.

Already did a week or so after me, so I imagine she's just behind me in the line

I think she'd probably get farther by following up on her own app

Yeah. I mean there's just nothing you can say that's going to carry much weight with recruiting, right? What, "we were LRW partners and she was a very good writer"?

I know right, like a firm is going to put any stock in the opinion of someone outside the T16
