On behalf of the Northwest Minority Job Fair board and Seattle Area Legal Recruiting Administrators, I am pleased to invite diverse students from your school to participate in the 24th annual Northwest Minority Job Fair. This event will be held on Saturday, August 28th, from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, in K&L Gates' Seattle offices, located at 925 4th Avenue, Suite 2900. Job Fair participants are also encouraged to attend the Fair luncheon held at 12:00 pm, featuring a local guest speaker.
The annual Job Fair continues to be a great success. Last year, we had over 25 employer participants and each student who attended interviewed with an average of 4 employers.
Attached is the required student registration form. Students who wish to participate in the Job Fair should submit their registration form, directly to me, by April 30th, 2010. Forms can be e-mailed or mailed using the address listed below. Additional deadlines and information can be found at the official Job Fair website: www.NWMJF.org.
More information regarding 2010 participating employers and instructions for requesting interviews will be distributed to registered students in May.
Students are encouraged to contact me directly at
jobfair@klgates.com, or dana.mills@klgates.com, with additional questions.
The 2010 Patent Law Interview Program will be held on Thursday, July 29 and Friday, July 30 at the Embassy Suites Chicago – Downtown/Lakefront at 511 North Columbus Drive in Downtown Chicago.
Student
Registration
Student registration will begin on Monday, February 15 and end on Monday, March 8. We will provide additional information about student registration next month. During that time, students will see a Register Now button on the student information page of our website located at http://www.luc.edu/law/career/Patent_Program_-_Stu.html. (You MUST register and pay the $35.00 student registration fee on-line via credit card by the deadline.)
Please note that students do not need to be patent bar eligible to register for the Patent Law Interview Program. However, many employers make patent bar eligibility a requirement for bidding, and most employers prefer patent bar eligible students. Although a number of employers indicate on their registration forms that they are willing to interview students who are not patent bar eligible, it is our experience that non-patent bar eligible students are generally disappointed as they do not receive many interviews or job offers through the Patent Law Interview Program.
