Title: Legal interview soon
Post by: Jason_A on November 24, 2013, 09:10:30 AM
I was just looking for a bit of advice on appearance, presentation, attitude, that sort of thing. Are suits necessary now?

I want to come across as well as I possibly can, as the interview is next week.

Thanks all.

For a corporation...nah. for a legal firm...yes.

I figured so, yes.

Anything else?

If that is a recent picture I would go get something done with the hair....it looks a little unruly.
You need to be neat, clean and present a confident demeanor during your interview.

Get a hair cut, your trying to carve out a career not pick up young chicks, If you're not serious no one is going to take seriously.

Your a young person, in all the TV crime shows you've watched have *any* of the lawyers shown up in court in Dockers and a comfortable sweater?

You are going to get your ass handed to you...alot...your ability to learn the true lessons from your defeats is going to define you.

I disagree.

If you're interviewing for a gig as a maintenance guy, then a suit is overkill. But for someone who aspires to do something associated with legal work, even as an intern, a suit is appropriate.

I would NEVER interview in anything less than a suit, but then again I'm not much of a maintenance guy.

Get a hair cut,...

OMG, yes!

And dress in a dark grey or blue suit, white shirt and wear a simple, striped tie. A Windsor knot would be nice. Black over-the-calf socks and black shoes would be a plus. If you're seated and want to cross your legs, do so at the knee, not at the calf.

Remember that in an interview you are following, NOT leading. When asked a question, keep your answers to the point and as short as possible. Eye contact is important, too. Don't glance around the room while thinking of an answer to a question. And be careful of "what if" questions.

You are going to get your ass handed to you...alot...your ability to learn the true lessons from your defeats is going to define you.

That's a given that so many don't pay attention to.

The bottom line of proper appearance and deportment for a job interview is not to appear liberal or conservative, but to appear professional.

Even then, I'd disagree.  I wore a suit and tie to my interview.  Always put your best foot forward.  Even if I am going to "just" be wearing FR Carhartt for the rest of my life... :panic:

I'm not exactly sure what it is you do, other than deal with nuclear and electrical energy, but I'm not sure I'd put you in the "maintenance guy" category either...

My last two jobs after retiring from the Army went like this:

1) Goes to HS to enroll my two oldest retards. Get asked by pricipal if I'd like to sub sometime. Submits resume. Get call asking me to start full time five minutes after I leave the building. Tomorrow. At 8 am.

2) then: After dicking around all summer waiting for school to approve contracts (all of us were waiting the school board to get off ass) gets call from Police Chief. He has an opening do I want it. Ask to think about it over weekend. Do. Call back and say when do you want me to start. Tomorrow. At 6 am.

Niether job did I 'formally' apply for or interview for. Was unemployed after leaving the Army for 28.5 hours.

Well, that's what happens when you come back to your ville like Clint Eastwood in "High Plains Drifter". Shoot all the bad guys and leave without them knowing your name. You're still operating under an alias, right?

I would.  Granted, it's not sweeping the bathrooms kind of maintenance, but it IS still technically maintenance.

We know and understand libs. We can imitate them, they cannot imitate us.

I disagree, don't  Matter what job a male is interviewing for, a clean white shirt, a clean sports jacket, even a good pair of jeans and sneakers, clean finger nails filed short, a shave and a hair cut----- a good presentation to a potential employer be it as a mechanic  or in a law firm.

The dress tells the story, a conservative with the upper half and a bit of liberal below the waist.

Same here.

A dark suit... either Navy Blue or Black.  I usually wear a red tie with it.  I have always worn a suit for any job interview... didn't matter what the job was.
