Alumni Information

 

Welcome to the Career Services Office's alumni web page.  The Career Services Office (CSO) is committed to helping graduates of New England School of Law achieve their career goals.  The Career Services staff provides the following services for alumni:

2008 Alumni Career Forum

NESL Alumni are cordially invited to participate in our biannual Alumni Career Forum to share professional experiences, insight, and knowledge with current NESL students. This event will bring together over 50 alumni from a variety of career paths. It has been a great success in the past with 100 + students attending.

Personalized Career Counseling:

Make an appointment for personalized career counseling with an experienced career counselor.  Career counseling can help you to plan effectively and chart your career course.

Resume and Cover Letter Review Service:

E-mail your resume and cover letter to CSO@admin.nesl.edu.  We will review it for spelling, content, grammar, and legal formatting.  As your experience develops and changes, you can send updated versions for review as well.

Mock Interview Service:

Schedule a one-on-one mock interview with a CSO career counselor before your real interview.  You only get one chance to make a first impression.  Let us help you to make the best impression that you can.

Job Postings:

The Recruitment and Programming Center (RPC) is the central, password-protected online system where alumni can access job postings.  To access the Recruitment and Programming Center, you will need your Jenzabar ID# (former student ID#) and a password.  If you do not know your ID# or password, then please call the CSO at 617-422-7229 to request it.

CSO's Reciprocity Program: 

If you are searching for jobs outside of Massachusetts, you can request "reciprocity" through the CSO.  This will allow you to search for jobs through a law school in another state.

CSO Resources: 

If you are experiencing difficulty finding employment, the CSO is here to help.  We have access to printed and online resources that are designed to help you find employment.  Come and view our reference library of books, binders, directories, and files about individual practice areas, employers, fellowships, and more.

Students and graduates of New England School of Law are well prepared -- both academically and practically -- are highly motivated, and thrive in challenging work environments. That's what employers in law firms, corporate settings, courts, government, and public interest offices consistently report to us.  We attribute those evaluations to the high quality of the education our students receive and their personal drive to use that training to succeed in their chosen career.

It is our goal as the Career Services Office (CSO) to provide each student with the resources he or she needs to successfully pursue a legal career.  We encourage each student and graduate to take advantage of the many services and opportunities available through the Career Services Office.
