Welcome to my blog! My name is Elizabeth Overmoe. I am a graduate of The University of South Dakota School of Law and I am an attorney for a non-profit law firm located in Sioux Falls. I have recently been hired by the law school as a career services specialist.
I hope each of you was able to spend some quality time with family and friends this past holiday season! Nevertheless, as law students, you are given the sometimes daunting task of always feeling the need to prepare for the next step. That next step may be buying your books for this semester, looking and preparing for summer employment, or it may be requesting that bar exam application you've been putting off for the last few months. Hopefully, this site will offer an abundance of resources and useful information to make one of those "next steps" easier; finding summer employment.
My part-time position will be dedicated to assisting the Law School Career Services Office (CSO) in all aspects of job placement including: counseling students in career planning skills and job search strategies, coordinating training skills workshops and career forums, managing the spring on-campus interviewing (OCI) program, as well as developing relationships with potential employers.
With that, I would like to hear from you. Please feel free to email me at anytime. I would love to know what the student population of this school would like to see from their career services office. Keep in mind, it is not my job to find you a job, but I will attempt to locate as many opportunities as possible for you to take advantage of throughout the next six months.
Also, please subscribe to this blog as this will be where I post the majority of the information I find. You can do so by clicking the "Subscribe" link located at the bottom of this page.
I look forward to meeting and working with each of you.
Beth
