New England School of Law Interviewing Policy

This policy applies to all NESL Career Services Office recruitment programs, including, but not limited to:

  • All On-Campus Interviews
  • Massachusetts Law School Consortium Recruitment Programs
    • National Recruitment Program
    • Government & Public Interest Recruitment Program at Boston College Law School
    • Government & Public Interest Recruitment Program at Suffolk University           Law School
  • Northeast Law School Consortium Recruitment Programs
    • Off-Campus Recruitment Program in Washington, DC
    • Off-Campus Recruitment Program in Philadelphia, PA
    • Off-Campus Recruitment Program in New Hampshire
  • All Job/Career Fairs promoted by the Career Services Office.

Scheduling Interviews

You will be notified by e-mail if you have been selected for an interview. Once you are chosen for an interview, you will be given a deadline by which you must schedule your interview. If you fail to sign-up for an interview by the scheduled deadline, you will have forfeited your interview slot and that slot will be reassigned to an alternate student.

Declining Interviews

In fairness to other students, please apply to employers in which you have a genuine interest and only those for which you would be willing and able to accept an interview. Should you need to decline an interview before scheduling it, do so immediately by sending an e-mail to Justin Panighetti.

Canceling Interviews

Once you have scheduled an interview, you are expected to honor that interview. Exceptions may be made for students who receive a job offer after they have signed up for an interview time, but such requests must be made to the Career Services Office staff.

We understand that emergencies may occur. Should an emergency arise and you find that you are unable to attend a scheduled interview, you must contact the CSO immediately. A change of interest in an employer or geographic area, interview burnout, missing class, too much to do in one day, etc. do not constitute emergencies. The CSO will then determine whether you will be required to write a letter of apology to the employer.

No-Shows

Failure to honor an interview appointment is considered by all parties to be a serious breach of courtesy and ethics. No-shows keep other students from interviewing opportunities, are a major inconvenience to employers, and may result in an employer refusing to return to the program in future years. Should you fail to show up for a scheduled interview, you will be required to meet with Mandie Araujo, Director of Career Services, and to write a letter of apology to the employer within 24 hours; the Dean's Office will also be notified of your failure to appear for the interview.

Two cancellations and/or "no-shows" may result in your exclusion from further participation in the CSO's recruitment programs.

Offer Policy

Do not accept a job offer if you intend to continue interviewing! When you accept an offer, you have agreed to work for that specific organization. All previously scheduled interviews must be cancelled, and candidates are no longer eligible to continue to apply for positions sponsored through recruiting programs.

All students participating in the recruitment programs sponsored by the New England School of Law Career Services Office are required to abide by this policy. For purposes of this policy, the term "interviews" includes "informational sessions."
