like a sheep, i decided to do Course aux stages this year.. And for those of you not involved in the law world, it consists of
1) applying to 20 firms; getting 5 1rst round interviews and 15 rejections. Not good for the morale!
2) Attending these 1rst round interviews in the span of 3 days (March 9-11) where you meet all of your competitors, you dress up in your one expensive suit and find an answer to "Why did you go to Law School"
3) Wait around for call backs for 2nd round interviews from MArch 12-15 (yes, they call on a sunday) for these interviews that will start on Monday the 16.
Thats where we're at. Waiting for call backs, seeing other students rush out in the middle of class to accept a call, wondering why your own cell isnt buzzing yet. WHY dammit cellphone WHY. Buzz yourself!
From 100 first interviews, they cut it down to 35 2nd round (average). And while EVERYONE thinks they had a great first round interview... well, theres a large majority who's never going to know what went wrong in their first interview.
Someone put it really well: its like going on the perfect date, and then waiting for the 2nd date call for 2 days.. to realize its not going to happen. and you have no idea why it didnt click for him. WHy doesnt he want you? you're pretty, smart, confident, awesome! REALLY?! theres someone MOREEE awesome than me? ... no way.
So. i wonder what boat ill be in on sunday. The no 2nd interview and eating ice cream in front of a chick flick? or the Preparing for the 45 minutes 2nd interview in front of 5 partners, hoping that i wow them enough for them to start me at a 80 000$ salary?
We shall seeee!!!!!
