Common Questions you may be asked during legal job interviews
There are many questions you may be asked during a legal interview. Here are some common ones to help you prepare. Questions about your experience What were your accountabilities/responsibilities in your prior positions? What did you particularly enjoy/dislike about that role? Why did you leave your prior employment? During law studies, what extracurricular activities did you participate in? Do you think your University grades scores are a good indicator of your academic ability? Do you think they are an appropriate indication of your ability to do well in this job? Questions about your personality Tell me a little about yourself, particularly something that won’t be on your resume. How would certainly your friends and/or past colleagues describe you? Exactly how would you describe yourself as a person? What are your outside interests /hobbies? Why did you choose to practise law/ why did you go to law school? Questions about your strengths and weaknesses Tell me about your greatest success at any of the firm’s you have worked for? What are your strengths/weaknesses? Are you a team player or do you prefer to work alone? For additional career advice contact Jason Elias on [email protected]
