Interviews & Recruitment
The CCS coordinates and facilitates the recruitment activities between students and employers through several different means.
Job Postings
We update and maintain our on-line job bank of available positions
through a program called Symplicity.(link to Symplicity) Here, you can
access job openings and search for career opportunities anytime and from
anywhere. By November 1 all entering students will have received an
email with their Symplicity login and password. After logging in,
create your own profile and then click on the job tab to learn more
about available positions.
Resume Collection
Often times employers request the CCS to not only post their opening,
but also collect resumes from interested applicants before forwarding
the complete packet to the employer. Typically upon receipt of the
application packet, the employer will then contact candidates of
interest and invite them to interview at their office. Resume
collections can also be found in Symplicity.
Recruitment and On-Campus Interviews
Each year the CCS conducts an extensive fall and spring On-Campus
Interview (OCI) program for over 200 legal employers who visit UF Law to
interview students for summer and permanent employment. The entire OCI
process from uploading your resume, bidding or selecting employers of
interest, to the interview scheduling is all accomplished through
Symplicity, our on-line program.
Video Interviewing
UF Law has video interviewing equipment that enables employers to
conduct an interview with you while you are here at the law school. Be
sure to advise potential employers who are located out-of-state that we
offer this service at no charge.
Off-Campus Recruiting
Job fairs, interviewing programs and recruiting conferences are all
events where legal employers are invited to one location such as Atlanta
or Washington, D.C.. There they interview participating law schools’
students during scheduled interview times. Students who participate in a
job fair increase their exposure to out-of-state employers and those
employers who may not be able to interview on-campus. These recruiting
events make it easy for a student to talk to a number of employers in a
short period of time.
Please be aware that the student registration deadlines for these off-campus recruiting events can be from two to three months in advance of the program date. For early fall interview programs, the CCS must have summer contact information for you as there will be information submissions and deadlines occurring over the summer. Fall entering students are ineligible to participate in any recruiting event that has a deadline before November 1st. While a number of these recruiting events state a preference for a specified group, all UF Law students may participate. Additional information about these opportunities is available in the CCS Office. Click here to see some of the off-campus interviewing events in which UF Law students participate.
