1L Summer Jobs
After exams, brainstorm about the type of job you want and prepare all your application materials (see “Common 1L Jobs” and “Job Application Materials” in the SYMPLICITY DOCUMENT LIBRARY). You can start applying for jobs at any time, but many will require transcripts. Below are some current posts, but employers will post summer jobs in Symplicity up until May. Also use your network, and feel free to reach out to places you would like to work, as many jobs are never posted.
