ALISON MONAHAN AND LEE BURGESS - LAW SCHOOL TOOLBOX, LLC
About this episode

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to discuss how to prepare for the second round of interviews for summer associate positions. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • The basics of a callback interview
  • Are interviews still virtual due to the pandemic?
  • How callback interviews are different from the initial screening interviews
  • How much do you need to know about the people you're interviewing with?
  • Pitfalls to avoid if you're invited to a lunch type of interview
  • How to handle a situation in which you're really not connecting with a specific interviewer
  • What to say if you're asked a question you don't like or don't know how to answer
