We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
In such a situation, would you still recommend undertaking the call-back internship purely for the experience, exposure, networking opportunities, and to strengthen future lateral prospects? Or would it be more prudent to focus efforts elsewhere, given the impossibility of conversion?
I would be grateful to hear perspectives from associates, recruiters, and those who have faced a similar decision.
my friend was told by one of the partners that they do not have a vacancy in the team, he was still called for a ppo interview and got the offer, on the other hand my partner told me explicitly that they do have a vacanacy but still has not taken anyone.
Gives you a chance to make a good impression and establish connections that could help you greatly in the future.
Additionally, what is true today may not necessarily be true tomorrow.
Teams, hiring, turnover, etc. in the legal industry are quite fluid, and you never know when a potential opportunity may show itself.
Remember, hearsay evidence is usually inadmissible!
