Profile

Director of LLM Career Development and Special Projects
The candidate will provide duties include: Under the direction of the Assistant Dean for International Studies, support the implementation and execution of the Law School’s comprehensive career and professional development training program for international LLM students, focusing on two main areas: offering individualized career counseling to LLM students and graduates, and supporting career and professional development programming. Work within each area will reinforce the work in the other; to provide a sense of the different responsibilities in each, however, work in each of the two areas is broken down below. The Director is one of the primary providers of career counseling and targeted advice to LLM students and graduates through one-on-one and other meetings. The position counsels and advises students and graduates in two broad areas – professional development and industry knowledge. Professional development ranges from self-assessment, long and short-term narrative development and career planning, to the detailed review of resumes, cover letters and other written material. Also covered are discussions of professional opportunities, guidance and advice on search strategies and techniques, interviewing, networking, general professionalism and more. Industry knowledge requires a thorough understanding of the U.S. legal market, particularly in the context of LLM recruitment, an appreciation of the unique challenges faced by international candidates, as well as knowledge of—or the desire to learn—legal markets in other regions, particularly Western Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Middle East and Africa.
