Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Latham & Watkins (Palo Alto, CA) nel mese di mag 2017
Colloquio
It was a pretty short interview with two senior paralegals. They seemed pretty uninterested, had not looked at resume prior. Asked a couple general questions about my experience and a couple questions about theoretical situations.

How would you deal with an attorney that asked you to complete a project that you knew was impossible to get done in the time given?

Colloquio
The interview process was a total of two or three rounds of interviews with the recruiter for the office, a few of the lawyers and one of the paralegals. More of a conversation than a formal interview feeling. A lot of discussing past situations and how to handle certain types of projects. A few questions regarding skill set and position specific cases.

Basic interview questions regarding experience and background
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Latham & Watkins (San Francisco, CA)
Colloquio
I interviewed with about 5 different senior paralegals on the same day & had an excellent, relaxed & informative conversation with each of them. They showed me around the office & informed me of what exactly a Paralegal does as I had zero experience at the time. New hires in my position begin as Project Assistants, which is essentially an entry-level Paralegal/Legal Assistant. Aside from discussing work-related issues they each made an effort to talk with me about my personal interests & past travels, which made the entire process less stressful. Ultimately, I was happy & optimistic when I left the interviews & actually got a call the very next day to ask when I could start working there. I really loved the people & enjoyed my time there immensely despite the sometimes hectic & very long hours.

Honestly, I don't recall any questions that were too technical or difficult to answer. The only one that I got self-conscious about was when I was asked if I planned on going to law school anytime in the new future because I worried saying yes might ruin my chances of getting hired.
