Job Fair Student Registration Instructions
Greetings SRBLSA Family,
I would like to express my deepest appreciation for your interest in the 4th Annual SRBLSA Job Fair. The theme for this year is “Fostering a New Generation of Leadership.” This job fair cannot and will not be a success without the participation of the NBLSA & SRBLSA membership, so please register. There will be many employers, who are looking to hire qualified members from this great organization, such as you.
Here’s how you can participate:
1. Go to https://law-nblsa-csm.symplicity.com/ and register.
2. Wait 24 to 48 hours for confirmation that you are a member of BLSA.
3. Once you have received confirmation, proceed with creating your student profile for the fair.
4. You may begin to bid for interviews with employers beginning on August 13, 2008. Students will be allowed to bid on up to 15 employers. Bidding will end on August 19, 2008.
5. Students will be notified of employers’ selections by August 30, 2008.
6. Unfortunately, due to events beyond our control, we are unable to release final schedules until Friday August 30, 2008. If you are planning to fly to the job fair, we suggest that you book your flight now, through an airline or travel company that will give you credit in the event that you choose not to attend the Fair. Waiting until final schedules are released to book your flight will likely result in increased fares.
If you have any questions, please contact me at srblsajobfair@gmail.com.
See you in Charlotte!
Best Regards,
Gordon-Andrew Lee Fletcher
2008 SRBLSA Job Fair Coordinator
