7) It's hard to know what a firm/org is "like" just by visiting their website or reading their marketing materials. Try reaching out to a current summer or articling student to get the scoop on the job. Or read their lawyers' tweets ;)

8) The process is mostly about #s and mindgames, unfortunately. Don't do things just because others are doing them. Don't forget why you went to law school. Don't base your happiness and self-worth on what strangers think of your stats.

An anecdote to show how arbitrary/archaic OCIs can be: One of my interviews consisted 100% of pro sports talk. It was so novel that I was conversant in an area that normally attracts *ahem* other demographics. Zero mention of my quals, but I made it to the next round. LOL.

To wrap up my #TedTalk, recruitment can be a stressful, lonely, and demoralizing experience. You're courageous just for putting yourself out there. I hope you find the job of your dreams, but even if you don't, keep your chin up and keep showing yourself/others kindness.

6) Try your best to use legal terms correctly, and ask your classmates/profs/mentors/CDO if you're unsure. While there's leeway for students because you're brand new, the lawyers who are reviewing your materials are experts in the law after all!
