Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to discuss how to prepare for the second round of interviews for summer associate positions.
In this episode we discuss:
- The basics of a callback interview
- Are interviews still virtual due to the pandemic?
- How callback interviews are different from the initial screening interviews
- How much do you need to know about the people you're interviewing with?
- Pitfalls to avoid if you're invited to a lunch type of interview
- How to handle a situation in which you're really not connecting with a specific interviewer
- What to say if you're asked a question you don't like or don't know how to answer
