I had a screening interview with Simpson Thatcher from 4:00- 4:20pm.

Got a rejection letter postmarked THE DAY OF my screening interview. How would they have had time to print out all the ding letters etc. and gotten to the post office before 5pm to get them all postmarked the same day?

Perhaps the ding letters were prepared BEFORE they even interviewed me?

I can assure you 100% this is not flame. I really couldn't believe it either when I got the letter the next day. I called up some other friends who I knew had interviewed with them as well and they all got the same letter with the same postmark. such complete bullshit.

On a related note, McGuire Woods told people at the END of the screening interviews that "they had just gotten word the summer program had been cancelled."

Dorsey and Whitney cancelled their interviews the DAY OF. The 9:00 appointment showed up at the door and found a little note taped to it.

FUCK firms and their bullshit.

I'm also sick of the shit firms acting like they're all that. Venable was telling people that they could "afford to be really picky this year" and "would be requiring 3.6's and Law Review" LOL. In a good economy they would have been lucky to get anyone to go to their TTT.

that is probably the stupidest move on Venerable's part. Seriously, who the fuck would stay there once the market clears up? If you had 3.6 from UCLA, wouldn't you try to lateral into a more normal firm? Pretty much Venerable would be training people and losing them in 2 to 3 years.

BTW, Venerable is smart. They don't train people. If you think places like Simpson gives you shit work (doc review) then try Venerable. You will get half page memo assignments without even knowing the client's name. If you have a 3.6 from UCLA it will take you at most 2 hours to do the assignment. The partner will ask if it was challenging and you pretend that it was.."oh yes.. the best assignment I've ever had..I don't understand why law school didn't make us to similar work."

No. Post offices close at 4:30 pm or 5pm. You can't mail off a letter at 8pm and get it postmarked that day. It would be processed the next day and have a postmark dated the next day

There are Post offices in major cities that stay open later. The firm I work at this summer sent out their last pouch of the day at 8:00 pm so it could be post marked and sent out that day (the P.O. closed at 9pm).

When I was in grad school we would send out our grant applications at the main post office in philly at midnight on the last possible day that they could be post marked.

Even if the post office was open past 5, it would still be tough to get the letter to the post office that day. The screener probably gets done with the interviews around 4 and then has to go back and probably report on who deserves a callback, talk to whoever is in charge of hiring, tell a secretary to prepare the mailing, and then actually mail the stuff. And all this stuff would be lower priority than any actual work the secretary or hiring partners have to do. It'd be tough to do that in a few hours.

Latham actually called my school after my interview and had me expelled because they couldn't afford to waste their time and money fucking over my legal career themselves but they wanted to make sure that I got what I signed up for.

Is it basically a matter of minimum number of interview spots required by school + knowledge that you're not really going to hire that many?

thats not *really* a postmark, at least not to me, the IRS and other gov't entities are not bound by it unless its printed by the USPS which means by an USPS employee

to the above people, I've never worked in a large firm, do you really have USPS stamps and machines in your office buildings?

I have a somewhat analagous story from a callback. I was going through the post-clerkship firm interview process, and set up a callback with a firm in another city. When I set up the callback, the economy wasn't terrible (December or so). By the time I actually got there, it was a lot worse (Feb-ish). When I showed up to the office, I talked to a recruiting manager before actually meeting with any of the lawyers. I explained this somewhat unique situation with my 2l firm--they were trying to get us to tell them soon if we were going to work for them after the clerkship, so I wanted to know how quickly I could expect to hear back from the callback firm. The recruiter looked at me with a look in her eye and said "don't do anything that would jeopardize your other offer." Lo and behold, I did not get an offer from the callback firm. I think they knew that they wouldn't give me one before I even went on the callback.

Don't make a big deal out of it. It happens all the time that a firm sends the ding letters to the candidates in whom it could not possibly be interested on the day of the interview. Firms just interview you as a courtesy to the school, which is stupid in my opinion since it wastes everyone's time, but that's how OCI works.

the moronic people on here never cease to amaze. how many people are convinced that you can't mail a letter past 5pm?

that being said, i'm shocked that busy lawyers and recruiters quickly ding people. usually real work and kissing ass to the candidates you're interested in takes priority.
