The recruiting process has certainly caught up to me and put me in a precarious position. 2 weeks ago I felt like I was in a strong position but now if seems like some of the opportunities are drying up. I go to a strong semi-target and have had 2 super days so far, along with 1 first round, none of which have worked out. I have a strong GPA and have submitted apps nearly everywhere but I know most first rounds come from networking.
Given that some places are already finishing up with their recruiting, how should I go about networking to ensure that I get some more first round interviews that will hopefully lead to offers? Should I treat it like my early networking calls where I ask about their experience with the firm or be a bit more direct?
