What are some interviewing must do and no-nos?
A5.1: Be early, having done your homework. Have a few extra resumes, something to write and on, and take a nice pen. #LegalCareerChat
A5.2: Focus on what you can do for the employer and its clients, not on what the job will do for you or your career. #LegalCareerChat
A5.3: Be ready for openers like Tell me about yourself/Why should we hire you? Don't talk too long or reply curtly. #LegalCareerChat
A5.4: Answer the trite questions well, like what's your greatest strength/weakness or what do you want to do in 5/10 years. #LegalCareerChat
A5.5: Showcase outcomes, not just tasks and have short stories ready for behavioral questions. Tell me about a time when.... #LegalCareerChat
A5.6: No legalese. Especially if you're interviewing for a non-legal job. Lean forward, be engaged, say you want the job. #LegalCareerChat
A5.7: Do your comp research; don't be caught off guard or shoot in the dark. Be ready to share your salary and goal. #LegalCareerChat
A5.8: Have an easy to eat dish if there's food. Be personable and professional; smile, relate, but no jokes please. #LegalCareerChat
A5.9: Get an offer, then decide if you'll accept. Say no to the wrong job; be flexible to get to yes for the right one. #LegalCareerChat
