i found a legal internship posting for 1L summer and above at a fairly popular company. should i wait until the semester starts to apply since i won't have any activities/proof that i would be completing my 1L year by next summer yet, or should i apply now with just the school name on my resume so the position doesn't fill up?
SoftshellTaco
16:51
damn we already applying for 1L jobs
c0bra1
16:51
this company is notorious for opening their applications early lol

i know for a fact they dont start interviewing until sept/oct but it is a very popular company so im not sure timeline wise if i should wait to have something of legal related substance or just apply now to be ahead
SoftshellTaco
16:52
thats a good question but i dont know the answer
AngryMiniCar
16:54
overachievers everyone
c0bra1
16:54
lol
c0bra1
16:55
my gut is saying to just wait till september and see if i can network into getting my application read faster
c0bra1
16:56
but idk how fast these things fill up for law i only have experience with cs recruiting that is a shot in the dark moving at the speed of light

@c0bra1: I don't know how it works either but I'd assume the worst they can do is tell you you don't have anything yet and if you apply again it'll make it seem like you're actually really interested?
AngryMiniCar
16:59
Idk
NosyBeagle
