Pre-Law News for Week of January 23, 2012

Oklahoma City University School of Law is still accepting applications for their Hatton W. Sumners Scholarships. The deadline to apply for one of the prestigious Hatton W. Sumners Scholarships has been extended.  Applications for these full-tuition, fees, and book and living stipend scholarships are now due by February 6, 2012.  Applicants should apply for admission to OCU Law and complete their application by February 15^th to be considered for this award.  To be eligible for one of these scholarships, the applicant must either be a resident of or be a student attending a college or university in one of the following states: Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana or Nebraska.  The Sumners Scholarship application can be found online, and the $50 admissions application will be waived for those who apply.  OCU Law also offers other full and partial-tuition scholarships that do not require an application.  These scholarships range from $5,000 to full-tuition, fees, and book stipends.  To be considered for one of these scholarships, students need only apply for admissions; they will be automatically considered.   Bottom-line, this is a tough economy and OCU LAW wants to do its part to make law school more affordable to those desiring a legal education.  OCU Law hopes to award between $1.8 and $2.1 million in scholarships this year, so take advantage of these opportunities.  They can visit the OCU Law website  to learn more about scholarships, and Oklahoma City, a city ranked by Forbes Magazine as “the number one recession proof city in America.”

The Digital You

People judge you based on your social media presence. (okay, maybe this image was a bit on the nose)

As I was reading Yahoo news this morning, I have to admit I was a bit chagrined by the fact that this new “Timeline” format Facebook rolled out a couple of months ago will be forced upon all Facebook users 7 days from now.  Basically, in the new format, your homepage will be a one-stop-shop to see everything that you have ever posted onto your profile since the date you started it.  That’s right: you have 7 days to “purge your past.”  This is especially important for all of you graduating Seniors out there who will be looking for jobs after this semester.  When you first started your online profile 4 or 5 years ago, social networking was relatively new and the news had not yet filled with stories of people humiliated, fired, arrested, or overthrown due to social network profiles. If there are any long forgotten posts that you thought were neat ideas 4 or 5 years ago, but maybe not so much now, you have one week to get rid of it.

This post is largely a repetition of my Halloween post, but I think it bears bringing to mind again.  This is the brave new world in which we live.  Whenever you go for a job interview, it is very unlikely that your potential new boss has not yet run your name through Google search, Facebook or LinkedIn.  As a matter of fact, some companies aren’t even asking for your resumes.  Instead, they request that you send links to your “web presence.”  This is the direction in which companies are headed.  Your Facebook profile is largely considered your “digital twin,” and your web presence is seen as a reflection of you.  Consequently, don’t let your digital twin be your “evil” twin.

Village Voice Digital Media Fellowship for Minority Students

 

 

 

 

Village Voice Media, in conjunction with the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, is offering an intensive, eight-week, paid summer fellowship for minority students concentrating on Web and digital media.

Digital fellows will be immersed in blogging, photography, video, audio and social media and will produce original reported material for Village Voice online publications.

Program instructors will include top Cronkite faculty as well as the nation’s leading news, music and food writers from the Village Voice family of 18 websites and newspapers.

Fellows will be paid $500 per week. Housing will be provided to non-ASU students. The program is open to students who are within one year of graduation, graduate students or post grads.

Fellows may ultimately be considered for positions within the Village Voice family of publications.

The course runs from June 18 to Aug. 10, 2012, at Cronkite’s state-of-the-art journalism school in the heart of downtown Phoenix.

Students applying should be within one year of graduation, graduate students or post-grads.

The program is open to any university student, although those who are studying journalism or have experience in journalism will be given preference. The application deadline is Feb. 24, 2012 at close of business Arizona time. Those accepted will be notified by March 9, 2012.

To apply, send your contact information, cover letter, resume, the names of two references with contact information, three “text” work samples that show strong reporting and writing, two optional multimedia work samples on a CD or a link to an online portfolio, and a recent photo attention Elizabeth Smith, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, 555 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004.

For more information, email Outreach Director Elizabeth Smith at elizabeth.grace.smith@asu.edu.

Intern and Study in Washington DC as a 2012-2013 UT Archer Fellow

In the words of current Archer Fellow Sterling Hill, a Business Honors and Finance Junior, “As part of the Bill Archer Fellowship program, I am already learning and experiencing so much here in Washington, D.C.  Passing the U.S. Supreme Court and Capitol each day as I walk to work at the Financial Services Roundtable is quite a thrill.  This week, I will be attending committee hearings and meetings with Congressional members on Capitol Hill, and next week our office is hosting a CEO lunch with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke as the speaker.”

Applications for the 2012-2013 Archer Fellowship Program are due one month from today on Friday, February 17, 2012.  The application is available on The Archer Center website at http://www.archercenter.org/fellowship/application_process.html.

What is the Bill Archer Fellowship Program?

The Bill Archer Fellowship was established by The University of Texas System in conjunction with Former U.S. Representative Bill Archer as a way to bring highly motivated and accomplished students to Washington, D.C. to participate in varied internships and take part in classes focusing on policy, economics, and persuasion. Archer Fellows work with places such as the United Nations Information Centre, the U.S. Department of State, many offices within the White House and on the Hill, with federal agencies, and with non-profit organizations.

Students who participate in the Bill Archer Fellowship Program can expect to have an exhausting, rewarding experience that will allow them to learn about how our federal government interacts within and outside itself. Students make and maintain social and professional contacts that often  help lead to continued internship opportunities and even jobs post-graduation.

Want more information?

If you are an undergraduate from one of the academic campuses of the University of Texas System, you may be eligible to apply for the Bill Archer Fellowship Program. Please check out the Prospective Students section of the Archer Fellowship Program website for more details.

Welcome Back!

The gym is overcrowded with people trying to make good on their New Year’s resolutions, it’s impossible to get a table in the Union between 12N and 1PM, and parking near campus has once more become a distant memory. School must be back in session!

It’s the Spring semester and it is time to hit the ground running.  That is especially true if this is your last semester at UT and will apply for jobs after graduation. Though you may like to think that graduation is still a long way off, it’ll sneak up on you and catch you by surprise if you’re careful.  Consequently, you need to start the process as early as possible.   If you haven’t done so, you should definitely start researching companies and positions to determine what you want to do.

I’ve heard it a million times, “I’ve applied to sooo many jobs over the past X months and I still haven’t found one.”  A lot of people think that the key is to apply to every job that catches your eye, and eventually one will respond positively.

This is what you are metaphorically doing when you apply for every job you come across.

This is a waste of time.  The key to getting a job without having to fill out an infinite number of applications is research.  If you find a job posting that looks interesting to you, research the company, find out what they do, and find a detailed job description. Determine if your background has given you the kills necessary for that position.  After that, think about whether or not you can see yourself really getting exciting for the job.  Only apply to job postings that meet this set of criteria.  You will fill out fewer applications, but the chances of you getting a job quickly will increase exponentially.  Whether or not you get a job after college is not determined by the number of jobs to which you apply, but the types of jobs to which you are applying.

Communication Career Services can help you navigate the process a little more easily.  While we’re not going to tell you what jobs to which you should apply, we can help you think more carefully about jobs, and what you should consider when making these decisions.

In other news, here are some other things for which you should be on the lookout from Communication Career Services:

• CCS Grant Application
• Denius Music Internship Grants Program
• Communication Job & Internship Fair, April 3
• Check out other upcoming events and deadlines on the CCS Homepage, in the bottom right corner.

More information on events and programs will be forthcoming.

What things do you think about when applying for jobs? Are there any specific tips that you have found to be particularly effective?  Let’s get the conversation going by writing in the comments section below.
