To many, it’s a huge, unforeseen blow. If it’s happened to you, you may be cycling through feelings of anger, betrayal and/ or self-doubt. You’ve worked hard only to have the rug pulled out from under you. Give yourself a bit of time to recover. Remember to use your support systems and seek out help if needed. Take care of yourself and remember you’re the same person you were at the beginning of the summer. This experience doesn’t define you.
While there are things taking place in the world right now that are outside of your control, the good news is there are things you can do.
In your 3L Cyber Binder under “Interviews” there’s an excellent article, reprinted with Berkeley Law’s permission, that covers strategies if you find yourself in this predicament. You can take steps to help yourself and improve your position for future employment.
We encourage you to read the article and work with your Section Advisor on a strategy about how to proceed. You may have some fact finding to do from your summer firm. Remember, that you’re not alone.
