Behavioral Interviews

One of the buzz phrases in legal hiring is 'behavioral interview questions' which can provide a look at how a candidate's past experiences will anticipate future work situations and decisions. These questions are aimed at teasing out a candidate's skills, experience, temperament, and interests as a good fit for the employer's culture, mission, and strategy. To prepare fully for these types of questions, candidates need to conduct a full and thorough self-assessment of their past experiences, developing skill sets, and interests, and how those intersect with the employer's needs. Legal career require flexibility, persistence, consistent hard work, and dedication. Make sure you are ready to discuss not only anything that is on your resume but other experiences that enable you to show those attributes.
