UDSL Job Search Manual - University of Dayton

On Campus Interviews
On campus interviews take place in the fall
and spring. We will post an updated list of
participating employers on our web site. This
information will also be supplied in the CSO
Summer Newsletter.
Resume Collection Service
Many firms and organizations contact us to
express an interest in hiring UDSL students.
They request that we collect and submit resumes
from interested students who meet certain
qualifications. The CSO forwards these resumes
to the employer in one packet. Our Resume
Collection schedule changes frequently throughout
the fall. Check the CSO web site or office
bulletin boards for an updated list of employers
and due dates.
Direct Contact Listings
Employers notify us in the fall of an interest
in UDSL students for summer and permanent
jobs and request students forward their resumes
directly to the employer. This list changes
frequently and the CSO maintains an up-to-date
list of participating employers and applicable
deadlines on our web page.
Job Postings
Many area firms, companies, and government
agencies contact us throughout the year
when they have part-time and full-time job
vacancies. We post these vacancies on bulletin
boards in the CSO and on our webpage via
LawMatch. LawMatch is an online job bank
in which UDSL and many other law schools
participate. This job bank allows students to
search quickly and efficiently for part-time, fulltime,
and summer jobs using a password. See the
LawMatch Reference Guide at the end of this
book for instructions on how to use and register
for LawMatch.
Resources
The Career Services Office houses an extensive
resource library containing employer profiles,
legal directories, periodicals, and career related
books on topics ranging from legal practice areas
to interviewing skills. We also maintain a very
comprehensive list of online career related web
links on the Career Services website under “Job
Postings” where you can directly link to over to
many other job search sites.

Student Files
As we often receive calls from employers
who are looking to fill a certain position, we
recommend that students submit a Registration
Release form available in the CSO along with
three copies of their resume. The CSO also
maintains student files and a database to aid in
our ability to provide individualized job search
assistance. Thus, having information about your
undergraduate major, job experience, and areas
of interest allows us to refer you for these types
of employment opportunities. Be sure to keep us
informed of your job status and supply us with
updated copies of your resume throughout the
school year.
State Bar Exam Materials
The CSO provides students information about
the Ohio Bar Examination and the Multistate
Professional Responsibility Examination. For all
other state bar examinations, we can provide
students with the appropriate contact information.
Our materials include information such
as required courses, application deadlines, and
application procedures. Each fall, representatives
from the Ohio Supreme Court give a presentation
outlining procedures for applying to the
Ohio Bar Exam.
