A Successful PI/PS Day!

by Victoria Capinpin
LCS Graduate Fellow

GGU Law Career Services applauds all of the students that worked so hard in getting their applications and other documents together for PI/PS Day! We know you all put in a lot of work researching interviewing and networking strategies. We would also like to congratulate those students who have already gotten offers or follow-up interviews! Good work everyone!

Now what?

GET ADVICE FROM LCS: Come meet with our counselors to get advice on what to do next! Common questions students have for LCS after participating in PI/PS Day include:
  • How do I handle multiple offers? What if I am still waiting on my first choice to give me a decision? 
  • How do I approach a follow-up interview? Is it the same strategy as my first interview?
You can make an appointment by emailing LawCareer@ggu.edu or calling 415 442-6625.

SEND THANK YOU CARDS: We hope that you collected business cards of all the people that interviewed you so that you can thank them for taking the time to interview you. Send "Thank You" notes to all of your interviewers as soon as possible. TIP: Make yourself stand out by sending personalized handwritten cards. If you were not able to get business cards from every interviewer, you can try to get information online:

  • Check the the One Justice website, which lists the PI/PS Day participants.
  • Look on LinkedIn or Google for the interviewer's name 
  • Look at the organization's website and see if you can spot the interviewer in a photo.
  • Contact LCS to see if our counselors know the name of the interviewer.
