HOW DO I APPLY?
1. Log in to The Law Consortium Symplicity.
2. Click on the [OCI] tab on the top navigation bar.
3. Select the [Employers/Bidding] tab.
4. Choose the session from the [Session ID] drop-down menu. The resulting list of employers contains only those that have requested your class year. These are the employers you are eligible to submit (apply) your resume to.
5. The prescreen materials each employer has requested will be noted in the [Documents] column.
6. Click the [Apply] or [Review] button from the list of employers. You will then be redirected to a review page.
7. To apply, click the [Apply] button in the "Bid Details" box to the right of the screen. Pay close attention to this box. If a document type is listed here, it is a REQUIRED document for this specific employer. For example: If "cover letter" is in this box, and "none found" is to the right, you must return to the [Documents] section and upload a cover letter.
Note: Your "default resume" will be included with each application. To submit a different resume (or any requested documents) from those uploaded in your "Documents" section, select the appropriate document from the drop-down in the "Bid Details" box.
Please make sure that you finalize your selections before the application submission deadline.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR AN INTERVIEW?
