Interview
Interview process took like over a month. First interview was a phone call with the recruiter, second time I took a written test in person, third interview was an interview with an attorney, fourth interview with another group of attorneys (2). Each interview I had to follow up and would hear back to schedule another interview maybe after two weeks.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was fairly simple. I wasn't impressed with the person who interviewed me. She didn't even apologize for missing the original scheduled interview date. Secondly, she was also rude and I was told that, my 8 years of legal experience basically amounted to nothing and that they would have to teach me everything. She was also very confused, about normal civil litigation and why there wasn't insurance companies involved at some level, when the cases had to do with individuals. She, also stated that...just because you work with a lot of attorneys doesn't mean you have experience and that she works for 4 attorneys and is in charge of the legal assistants for her group. Didn't seem like she wanted to even have the interview.
