Interviewing and Recruiting Programs

On-Campus Interviewing program
One of the most effective ways for employers to recruit our students is through participation in the Fall and Spring On-Campus Interviewing (OCI) programs. Last year, the law school welcomed more than 100 employers to the Fall OCI program. OCI provides legal employers the opportunity to interview law students for full-time and part-time law clerk, intern or associate positions.

To participate in OCI, employers simply select an interview date and provide basic information about their organizations. Two weeks before the interview dates, the Placement Office forwards resumes of interested students to the employers for review. Employers then contact the Placement Office with the names of the students they feel are best suited for the available positions, and our office coordinates the logistics, including notifying selected students and scheduling the interviews.


Fall 2008 OCI begins August 11th



Employers are welcome to come to our campus and
interview our students at any time.
We will do our best to work with you and schedule
a mutually convenient OCI date for your organization.

Resume Referral
In addition to our On-Campus Interviewing Programs, the Placement Office also hosts a popular Resume Referral Program designed to attract legal employers who are unable to visit FSU's campus during the scheduled OCI time. The Placement Office collects resumes from interested students and forwards them to employers for review and follow-up by the individual employers.

To sign up for Resume Referral, please contact the Placement Office at 850.644.4495.

Off-Campus Interviewing & Job Fairs
The Placement Office also provides employers the opportunity to meet our students through several off-campus programs and job fairs. As part of our fall recruiting program, our students meet with Atlanta and Miami employers that are unable to visit campus. Our purpose is to offer employers a cost- and time-efficient means of interviewing our students.

The program is similar to our On-Campus Interview Program. Students submit resumes, our office forwards the resumes to the employers, and the employers select those students they wish to interview. The Placement Office coordinates the scheduling details with students and employers. Students then travel at their own expense to the interview on the scheduled date.

The Miami Off-Campus Recruiting Program is scheduled for August 15, 2008.

The Atlanta Off-Campus Recruiting Program is scheduled for August 29, 2008.

To sign up for our Miami or Atlanta off-campus recruiting program, please contact the Placement Office at 850.644.4495.

Advertising Entry-level and Lateral Positions
One of the Placement Office's most popular services is posting job listings. All job postings are accessible to students and alumni with a password online.

There are two ways to post job listings:

  1. Fill out and submit the Job Posting form and fax it to the Placement Office at 850.644.2109.
  2. Post the job directly to our job placement software at https://law-fsu-csm.symplicity.com/employers/. Our web-based job placement software program allows employers to post jobs directly to our site and view students' resumes at a glance. If you need a username and password or any assistance in using this software, please call our office at (850) 644-4495.


Nondiscrimination Policy
Please note that FSU requires all employers to abide by our nondiscrimination statement:

The Florida State University College of Law provides its students and graduates with equal opportunity to obtain employment, without discrimination or segregation on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap or disability, or sexual orientation. Therefore, The Placement Office's files, listings, assistance, and facilities are not available to any person or organization that discriminates against any person on any of the above grounds. The College of Law expects every employer who wishes to use the College's placement offices and services to observe the principle of equal opportunity.

The only exception to this rule is for the military recruiters who are allowed to recruit on-campus under the rules of the Solomon Amendments.

Employment Policy for Full-Time Students
In accordance with the law school accreditation standards of the American Bar Association, a student may not engage in employment for more than 20 hours per week in any semester in which the student is enrolled in more than 12 class hours. The College of Law appreciates your attention and cooperation in this matter.
