Recruitment & Interview Programs
On-Campus Interviews & Resume Collects
On-Campus Interview (OCI) Programs are recruiting programs that take place virtually or in person at the law school each year and are designed to enhance employment opportunities for all Wake Forest Law students. Employers are invited to conduct screening interviews with law students for summer and/or permanent positions. Recruitment programs are scheduled year-round, with the exception of November/December and April/early May, to accommodate student exam schedules.

Off-Campus Interview Programs
Wake Forest University School of Law participates in multiple off-campus interview programs. As a student, you have access to employers that may not participate in on-campus interviewing due to distance and time constraints or may be seeking students with specific backgrounds or interests.
Students should check back often for updates on student registration timelines and interview dates and locations for each program, as our website is updated when program dates are distributed. If you have questions about any interview program, please contact our Recruiting Manager in the Office of Career & Professional Development (sappcc@wfu.edu) or speak with your Career Advisor.
