Video Conference Interviewing

The Office of Career Services has a dedicated room and equipment available for video conference interviews on campus. We handle the scheduling within our office, and receive technical support from our vendor company Law School Connect and the HLS Media Services department.  Below are the steps you need to take to arrange a video conference interview.

Step 1: Coordinate the interview time and date between parties.

• When scheduling a time to interview a student, provide at least two time options, in the event that the space is booked during your first choice of time.
• What is the expected duration of the interview?
• Know all the student's contact information- phone and email address.

Step 2: Get technical details.

• Who is the IT contact person for your firm/organization? (name, phone, and email)
• Are you using an IP or ISDN connection?  Please note that IP calls are at no cost to you.  ISDN calls within the United states will incur an $85 charge; outside the U.S., $125 USD, payable to Harvard Law School.

Step 3: Submit your request.

• Download and complete a Video Conference Request Form, and return it in an email to Lisa Connolly , 617.496.0583.
• You will receive confirmation that your requested or alternate time is available.
• Someone from Law School Connect will contact your IT person to coordinate technical details, especially concerning placing a test call.

Important points to remember:

• Students must be aware that they need to visit OCS prior to their scheduled video conference interview in order to gain access to the conference room.
• Certain fees apply to this service.  You will be billed by the Office of Career Services.
