When any legal employer is interviewing you, he or she most often wants to hire you.
The interviewer is hoping you are the best applicant for the job because interviewing people takes time that could be used to bill hours.
Any legal employer interviewing you essentially has three vital questions:
(1) can you do the job?
(2) can you be managed?
and (3) will you do the job long-term?
The interviewers are also asking a fourth question: do we like you?
Every question you ask during a law firm interview should be evaluated through these four questions and whether they beget positive answers.
Getting even one of these wrong can be fatal.
Attorneys and law students will often ask the wrong questions and disqualify themselves.
Often, they may not even realize they asked the wrong questions, and they will be disqualified from the job without knowing it.
Your objective when going into any interview is to get the job.
While you may have many of the following questions for an employer, it is best to get the job first before asking any of them.
When you ask these questions early on, it sends the wrong signal to the employer and causes them to doubt you.
