"What exactly is an off-campus recruitment event?"

"Why would I want to go to one?"

An off-campus recruitment event benefits both UF Law students and employers. For students interested in a certain geographic area, it provides access and opportunities to interview with employers who may not come on campus to interview students. Off-campus recruitment events can also be targeted to students with a specific interest in a particular type of law. This year's off-campus recruitment events include participation from all types of employers from Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Boston, Tallahassee, Phoenix, New York City, Washington, DC, and more. Employers benefit from the off-campus recruitment events because they have the ability to go to one location and see students from many different schools. Off-campus recruitment events typically resemble the OCI interview structure at UF Law. If you are selected for an interview, you will know well in advance so that you may plan your travel accordingly. Interviews are typically 20 minutes in length where you will have the ability to showcase your best qualities for your interviewers. Many employers will then select call-back candidates to interview with more attorneys at the actual firm or agency location. While traveling expenses to the individual off-campus recruitment events are yours to manage, these events are a fantastic way to fully maximize your internship and job searching strategies. Participation should absolutely be considered from any student interested in out-of-state employment, exposure to more firms, or certain federal or government entities.
