Laura Berger wrote a great post about interview week last year, which includes comments on what to do if you don’t receive a position: http://ultravires.ca/2012/10/how-to-keep-your-cool-during-interview-week/
She also added a postscript for our benefit now, 1 year later:
(a) I have the best articling position in the province. Maybe the country. Maybe the world.
(b) Absolutely everybody I know found an articling position by graduation. Many of my friends – who are generally articling for smaller firms or government – got their jobs during the August articling recruit or even later. At this point, everyone is enjoying articling life… i.e. working ’round the clock, making some mistakes, learning a zillion new things, and somehow surviving
(c) Also, everyone passed the bar exams.
Conclusion? Everything works out in the end, so folks should just make themselves a mai tai and relax.
