Law End-of-Exams Bash

Law Bash is round the corner! And as we have explained in our first meeting today, it is an uphill task for us to sell tickets, as most of the school has retreated to study for the exams. However, if every one makes the effort to reach out to sell tickets, we will definitely be able to meet the challenge!

Interview Updates!!

1. Venue and Time

Download the interview schedule here!

Interviews will be conducted over two days, Wednesday 19th Oct and Wednesday 26th Oct.

The interviews on both days begin at 10.30 am, and end around 3.30 pm. Please check your email mailboxes for the most updated interview scheduling slots! Also please feedback any problems with the timings - we'll try our best to schedule you in properly.

Please do keep your handphones on as well, if there are any shifts in the timings we'll give you a ring to come down!

Apologies to those people we accidentally missed out in the scheduling! Please approach any of the exco to remind us, and we'll put your name in. =)

2. Committment Levels

We will be doing preliminary work once exams end in November, and will be working mainly on proposals throughout December. The level of work committment is lower during this period, so if you are planning to go on holiday, it's alright.

Two committees will start work slightly earlier. Marketing Comm will be organizing an End of Exams Bash, in roughly about five weeks, and will then go on to undertake fund-raising activities through December. Publicity Comm will be helping Marketing Comm.

Work will pick up in tempo when school starts, and will steadily build up closer to May. We will then have around 2~3 weeks of holidays in May, after which we will be working all the way for about 5~6 weeks.

3. OGL or Councillor?

Think of Councillors as the people who choreograph a performance, and OGLs as the actor/actresses who execute the performance. Forgive any possible inadequacy of this analogy!

But simply put, that is the difference. Councillors will be working steadily from December, refining proposals, testing activities, planning logistics, coordinating the cohesion of all the various elements of Orientation.

OGLs will only play a larger role towards the end of the planning process, helping to give feedback for the program and generally assisting to finetune the Orientation programme. Come Orientation itself, OGLs will be the face of O-Team, and in charge of galvanizing the freshies to participate whole-heartedly in the activities.

A good starting point for people trying to make a choice between the two, is to ask whether you are more comfortable working with peers to develop activities, or working with juniors and inspiring and bonding them with your enthusiasm and charisma. What would you be happier doing?

Please do not assume that one role over the other requires less/more responsibility/dedication etc. Both roles will require you to be equally committed!

Interview Slots Update

The timings are out! I've mailed the provisional timing slot allocation to you! Please do check and see if any changes need to be made.

We apologize for the haste with which we have scheduled the interviews, and understand that many of you might not be able to make it due to the lack of reasonable notice. However, we are under a tight schedule, and wish to expediate this process as quickly as possible.

I will try to ascertain during lecture just how many people cannot make it for the timings given. Please do bear with us as we try to complete this tricky process of scheduling over 70 people.

The two days for Interviews are Wednesday 19th Oct from 1030 am to 230 pm, and Wednesday 26th Oct, same time.

O-Team Interviews

Purpose of the Interviews

The Interviews will be used primarily to help the Exco decide how best to stream applicants into their positions within O-Team. The first step will be to decide whether an applicant is better suited to being an OGL or a Councillor. We will answer this question based on the applicant's own inclinations, as well as the strengths and qualities he can bring to O-Team.

The second step is to place the applicant into the Committee best suited for him, or to pair him up with a complementing OGL.

Interview Scheduling

As you can imagine, with the hundred and one different timetables we have, there will be problems coming up with a Interview schedule to fit everyone. We will first be releasing a Preliminary Interview Schedule over the next few days, and we need you to quickly respond by telling us whether you can make it for the Interview.

Interviews will be conducted over the next two weeks.

O-Team Sign Ups

Please do reach out to friends who want to join O-Team, but haven't made up their minds or submitted their details to us. Application to O-Team will effectively close with the conclusion of the Interviews, and therefore we need all interested applicants to sign up now.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I be both an OGL and a Vice-Chair of a Committee?

The straightforward answer to this is no. Both roles would require a lot from you, and there would be a conflict of interest if you should have to manage both roles at the same time. Furthermore, it is desirable to have two spirited and talented individuals to fill both roles, instead of one managing both, so as to increase the vibrancy of O-Team.

Of course, every decision turns on the facts of the situation, so we might relax this restriction if there are extenuating circumstances. We are, after all, in Law School.

2. How do I prepare for the Interviews?

To facilitate the execution of the Interviews, it would be good if you gave some thought to the following questions.

Why do I want to join O-Team?
Do I want to be a Councillor or OGL?
If I want to be a Councillor, which committee would I like to be in?
If I want to be an OGL, is there anyone I can work with already? (If so please let us know)
What are my strengths and weaknesses in relation to Orientation?

3. What are the differences between an OGL and a Councillor?

For the answer to this, watch this space. We will be putting up a guide detailing the aspects of both roles, for you to better decide.

4. If I want to be a Councillor/OGL, but there's insufficient vacancies, what happens?

Ideally, we will stream you into the role you are most inclined towards. If the event that this is impossible, we will place you into another position which we think is best for both you and O-Team.

We seek your understanding in this! We really do need help from everyone to help fill out the roles for O-Team, instead of just having everyone do the most cushy jobs, like Night Court I/Cs or OGLs or FOCC Chair.
