Hillary Dang '17 - "OCS, the Law School, and its organizations host a number of great speaker series, panels, and events where alumni or other legal professionals come to campus to speak about their careers and/or the industries in which they practice. I found these opportunities to be great resources to learn about the industry, observe and learn about networking, and to gather more information about different practice areas."
Emily Bork ’18 - "OCS workshops help 1L students navigate their summer job search from networking advice to resume drafting and everything in between!" -Read more

Krishna Jani '17 - "I had a great time interviewing at the W&M 1L-Alumni Mock Interview Program. The interview was more like a conversation, and I learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses in interviews. My interviewer even emailed me with real job opportunities after the interview based on our conversation! I feel extremely fortunate to have had the experience and to have received feedback from a working attorney."
