Interview Success
With many 2L and 3L interviews going on right now, this is a great time to focus on interview basics. Here are five tips for interview success:
1. Prepare by learning about the employer. You should know enough about the employer to articulate why you are interested in working for them.
2. Prepare by learning about the interviewer. It will be easier to carry on a conversation with the interviewer if you know what college and law school he/she attended and what areas of law he/she focuses on.
3. Prepare by reviewing your resume. Be ready to discuss every aspect of your resume, including your college thesis and/or work projects that you completed years ago.
4. Bring extra copies of all relevant documents, including your resume, writing sample, transcript and list of references.
5. Arrive early to avoid any last minute issues.
If you want to brush up on your interview skills, Sarah, Alyson and Kelli are available for mock interviews.
