Mosaic: The Proskauer Diversity Newsletter - Summer 2016
In June, Proskauer's Los Angeles office hosted mock interviews for more than 40 teens from five Boys & Girls Club chapters, helping them practice their interview skills while receiving immediate, valuable feedback.
Partner Glen Lim helped to organize the event after asking Boys & Girls Club leadership what the firm could do to help beyond financial support. The volunteers included 64 Proskauer team members, a client from Tennenbaum Capital Partners, overtime donated from Novitex and free parking for the students from ABM Parking Services.
"It was a total team effort," Glen says, "Everyone participated – reception, word processing, secretaries, office managers, lawyers, summer associates and paralegals."
Each of the participating clubs selected teens from their College Bound programs to attend the event. Proskauer created a mock job description for the participants who went through two rounds of interviews, which included feedback from their Proskauer interviewers. The interviews were followed by a pizza party for the students, during which the Firm raffled off four L.A. Dodgers game tickets.
