- Log in to Symplicity .
- Select [Interview Programs], then [Employers/Applications] to select “Fall Interview Program 2023” from the Session list to view the list of employers requesting bids from your class year. You may submit bids for these employers.
- Click the [Review] button next to each employer to review required application materials, information about office locations considering applicants during FIP, and stated hiring criteria.
- To ensure you are considered for the locations and practice areas you are interested in, carefully review the “Additional Requests” and “Hiring Criteria” columns for each employer and, if indicated, follow their specific instructions for including your preferred locations and/or practice areas in your cover letter.
- To apply, click the [Apply] button in the “Bid Details” box to the right of the screen. Pay close attention to this box, as any documents listed are required by this specific employer. For example, if “cover letter” is in this box, and “none found” is to the right, you must return to the [Documents] section and upload a cover letter.
- Note that your “default resume” will be included with each bid. To submit a different resume (or any requested documents) from those uploaded in your “Documents” section, select the appropriate document from the drop-down in the “Bid Details” box.
- The [Preferred Location] box will appear on most applications.
- If the employer is interviewing for only one location, list that location.
- If the employer is listed as interviewing for more than one location, rank the locations in which you are interested in the order of preference.
- If an employer has separate interview schedules for different office locations, submit a bid to each office of interest and indicate preferred office locations on each.
