Callback Question

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Aug 10, 2017 3:56 pm

I have a callback tomorrow and I have not been given the names of the attorneys interviewing me. I've reached out to the recruiter and heard nothing back. What are some good questions I can ask whoever ends up interviewing me, since I can't personalize them?

There are hundreds of resources online for good questions to ask in interviews. If you're going on a callback, you've interviewed before and should have some semblance of what you're doing by now. No one's expecting you to reinvent the wheel.

This. And I personally find it creepy if someone asks some hyper-specific question that indicates they did more than just read my firm bio.

Second to everything said the above, Google good questions to ask during interviews and tailor them to the firm/legal field.

Chances are that you'll get the list of who you'll interview with tomorrow right before your CB. Attorney schedules are volatile, so recruiting probably doesn't know who will be free to interview you yet. It's also probably a good idea to not rely too much on who you'll be interviewing with to guide your interview strategy anyway. That can change last minute fairly regularly.

Yep, and plenty of times when you get a schedule, it will change while you are at the firm (e.g., supposed to interview with X associate, but something comes up so you interview with Y associate) due to unforeseen calls/fire drills, etc.
