A brief on preparing for an Interview in the legal profession.

1. Preparing For An
Interview

2. Do Your Research
Research the company or firm.
They may ask you questions about
who they are and what they
represent, so be prepared to give
an informative answer. Also, check
out any social media pages that
might provide an insight into
passed or current projects.

3. Resume Prep
Know your resume ‘back to front’
and be prepared to answer any
questions about previous roles. If you
really hated one of your past roles,
avoid speaking negatively and
tarnishing that firms reputation. Speak
positively with appropriate lessons
you may have learnt from that role.

4. Grooming
Make sure you are nicely groomed
with a suit jacket and polished
shoes. Control the urge to have a
cigarette or drowning yourself in
strong cologne / perfume minutes
before the interview. Scent is one
of the first impressions that the
interviewer will have of you. So
make that extra effort!

5. Watch The Time
See what we did there? Alright, In all
seriousness be on time.
Our definition of ‘on time’ is 10
minutes prior to your interview.
Don’t arrive earlier or later than that.
Assuming that they are a busy
company they don’t want someone
rocking to reception area 30 minutes
beforehand.

6. Smile
If this is your ideal job then work
at selling the best of you in this
interview. Smiling, staying
positive and showing your
passion for the position is key!
Good energy is contagious.

7. Self-Control
Control hand gestures
Control the pace at which you talk
Control and manage your responses. No tangents!
And control and maintain eye contact

8. Good Luck!
We wish you the best of luck and
hope you secure your ideal role.
