ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO HIRE OR REFER AN OPPORTUNITY?
One of Northwestern Law's greatest strengths is our strong sense of community. The Center for Career Strategy and
Advancement is asking for your help. Due to the weak economy, a number of students are still looking for summer and
permanent employment. If you are in a position to hire a student for part-time or full-time employment, or refer an
opportunity, please contact Shonagh Aylsworth. Additional information
on our student population and formal recruitment programs can be found at www.law.northwestern.edu/career.
Any assistance you can provide in these challenging times would be greatly appreciated.
ALUMNI CareerNet: ONLINE SEARCHABLE NETWORKING DATABASE
Northwestern CareerNet allows alumni to connect and communicate with other alumni in their desired field. Alumni may
conduct online searches by career field, company, geographic area, and name. A username and password are necessary
