The program will provide general advice regarding the law firm remote, on-site, and call-back interview process, aided by the lens and experiences of underrepresented and first-generation attorneys. In doing so, the program seeks to address, not only general preparation strategies, but also helpful insight into navigating the specific hurdles and pitfalls encountered by these communities.
Attendees will have the opportunity to sign up for a 30 minute mock-interview prior to the start of the Bay Area Diversity Career Fair.
Topics
- How to Prepare for a legal interview (i.e., research, resume, and interview strategies)
- What Law Firms are Looking for in Candidates
- Common Pitfalls / Shared Experiences/ Lessons Learned
- Interviewing in the post-COVID Era
Committee Co-Chairs
