Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're excited to have ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, with us to discuss the most common questions we get about job interviewing as a law student.

  • What to wear
  • What to bring (and what not to bring)
  • Special considerations for the virtual interview
  • How to deal with the awkward interviewer
  • Thank you notes – yes or no?
  • How to get help if you struggle with interviewing
