would appreciate any insight. is it possible to get an interview at my school's OCI or during OCI although i've been out for about a year? if so, i would appreciate it if anyone can point me to a post or a guide. if not, what's the best alternative? i've tried searching with no luck. thank you.

Are you asking if you, as a licensed attorney, can interview in a program designed for law firms to hire 2Ls?

If you want to work in biglaw, either contact a recruiter or mass mail. Those are your two options.

I've been out nine months working at a 50 lawyer firm. Had interview with big firm in secondary market; didn't get it. No harm in trying.
