“Prior to recruit I had countless questions which could only be answered from those who know the ins and outs of the entire process. I had questions from how I should best frame my cover letter to what to expect during interviews. Ave and Jesse not only answered these questions tactfully, but offered advice and coaching on how I should best position myself for success during the entire process. The mock interviews were especially helpful, giving me confidence in what to expect for the real thing. They made themselves entirely available day and night, answering all my last minute questions through emails and phone calls whenever I needed it. I was so nervous throughout recruit, but Ave and Jesse were always able to quell any concerns I had with a supportive and understanding attitude. After the entire process, I landed the job I could only have dreamed of. These guys understand the process in and out, and I would highly recommend them to any law student navigating the recruitment process”

“The help of the OCI Guides was truly invaluable to me through the 2L recruitment process. They overextended themselves as a resource, lending both their time and effort to ensure that I was well equipped going into every stage of the recruit. The OCI Guides had a strong sense of all the firms, helped me tailor my approach to suit my audience and understand the best place to launch my legal career. The OCI Guides were more than just a resource, they were people I could call, text and access as an ear to listen, strategic coach and impartial voice of reason. I am so grateful to the OCI Guides for the integral role that they played in helping me secure my summer position.”

“The OCI Guides provided me with exceptional guidance throughout the entirety of the OCI process! They made themselves available whenever I needed advice on the “dos” and “donts” and provided me with the confidence every candidate needs to be successful. I would recommend the help of the OCI Guides to anyone looking for compassionate and dedicated individuals to help guide them through the recruitment process!”

“Going into the recruit, I was very unsure if I had what it took to be successful. I did not feel like I had the background or experience that would appeal to any of the firms I was interested in. Ave and Jesse were able to review my materials and help me frame my narrative in the best possible light. They found value in my resume that I hadn’t recognized before. Ultimately, I wouldn’t have been as successful as I was in the recruit without their tireless support and encouragement. I would recommend them to anyone going through OCIs and in-firms.”
