How did your firm No-offer/Rescind PWN you?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 27th, 2010 1:41 PM Author: Crimson Home Cuck Back in the day, it was seen as a badge of shame to be No-Offer, or to even have your offer revoked.
But ITE has completely changed that.
So how did your firm/hiring partner/partner mentor go about "breaking the news" to you.
Was it over lunch?
Phone call?
Letter with 24lb watermarked paper? |

Date: January 27th, 2010 2:05 PM Author: translucent haunted graveyard I received a phone call from the hiring partner with my no offer on the same day he made calls to the other SAs who received offers. He was really vague, saying something like the litigation dept didn't have room for another person, blah blah. He apologized profusely but I sort of just kept shaking my head. Couldn't believe it at the time. Needless to say it ended up not mattering and I lined up another job within a few months.

Date: February 2nd, 2010 12:53 PM Author: Olive well-lubricated site gay wizard Probably not.
No-offer carries heavy weight even ITE. The firms are sympathetic but hiring is a different issue.
Only people that are able to land an entry level position are people who already have an offer from a peer firm.
So the dude probably got shitlaw, government, or public interest.

Date: January 27th, 2010 2:52 PM Author: Crimson Home Cuck Subject: My firm's Hiring Partner Called me into his office on the last day.
Had me sit down, told me that everybody enjoyed having me there for the summer, and had a great experience with me.
"It was a really tough decision (sure) but, uh. . .we won't be giving you an offer. Uh. . .I'm sure XYZ (Partner Mentor) can go into the specific details if you have any questions. I'm uh. . .real sorry."
Then I proceeded to be humiliated by having a "goodbye" lunch with a couple of the Partners from my hallway. I think the biggest FUCK YOU had to have come when my partner mentor said,
"Well I'm sure this is probably the worst day of your life, but I just want you to know that it is nothing personal, it's just business."
fuckin' fag.
No seriously, the Partner was/is a homosexual. His partner does JAG or some shit. We all met him at a SA event. |

Date: January 27th, 2010 10:16 PM Author: Crimson Home Cuck I could come up with a dozen possible things that looking back in hindsight sealed the deal.
But honestly, there really wasn't shit I could do to change their decision.
Unless I was on Law Review and top 10% of my class, nothing was certain.
The REALLY REALLY fucked up part of the entire thing was that across ALL the offices, they No-Offered 50% of the Summer Class.
Then the particular office that I was a SA with RESCINDED the only ACCEPTED offer for that office.
So at the end of the day, I was FUCKED whether I got an offer or not. |

Date: January 27th, 2010 10:19 PM Author: Crimson Home Cuck Honestly, I would've respected them more if they just shook my hand as I grabbed my NAMEDFIRM coffee mug, turned in my swipe card, and walked out the door.
Nah, these fuckers wanted to make themselves feel better by taking me out on that bullshit lunch. The conversation was the worst part.
Partner #1: "We want to know how we can help you." Me: "What did you have in mind as far as help?" Partner #1: "What did YOU have in mind?"
All of this took place in 2008, so I guess they saw the coming of the storm. |

Date: February 2nd, 2010 12:59 PM Author: Olive well-lubricated site gay wizard Was told well in advance that I wouldn't get an offer. But I was in summer class of 2007 and did not show up to work few times.
One time partner called me on the phone when I didn't show up and I didn't pick up the phone. He texted me saying, "where the hell are you?" When I got back to the office two days later he ignored me and just acted like nothing happened.
I ran into him in the men's room and tried to apologize. He didn't even make eye contact when we were taking a piss. He just said, "well...yeah."
Summer Class of 2010, please go to work. You can't skip work and expect to get an offer. Summer Associate means pretending to be at work busy. And yes that entails physically being at work. You can't just not show up to work and when the partner calls tell him that you are working at home. Working at home will not get you an offer.
DINGFAG! |

Date: February 2nd, 2010 1:50 PM Author: glassy tattoo becky Hiring partner called and told me they weren't giving me (or most of the other SA's) an offer. They said it shouldn't reflect "too much" on my talent / work product etc. I worked hard during the summer and people liked me, and they said as much on the phone, shifting responsibility for the decision onto firm management. I wasn't too surprised - the firm had been laying off associates for months - but it was a jolt to be deprived of all hope. The firm said they'd help w/ recommendations and shit for another job but I never contacted them and they never contacted me again. I don't know if it will be a "badge of shame" but it's certainly not an asset.
BTW I'm top 1/3 at a T25, was at a V50. |

Date: February 18th, 2010 10:12 AM Author: glittery cumskin kitchen Hiring partner called and said "they'd love to have me join their corporate group." I saw right through him, cursed, and hung up. I've never felt so humiliated in my life. I put in my face-time, got high marks on all my reviews - how could this happen?! Now I'm fucked as an out-of-work 3L, looking for PD positions in shitty rust belt towns.
And I'm top 1/3 at a T20. Fuck. |

Date: February 18th, 2010 10:23 AM Author: onyx wonderful hall ceo The last two posts are almost identical to my experience. Hope everything works out for everyone. I wish I could say something that would cheer most of you up. Just keep grinding and work hard. The same mentality that got you into law school in the first place will help you find a job. I'm curious as to what people did the next couple of days after getting a no-offer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1203804&forum_id=2#14159233) |
