Legal interview soon

[Jason_A]

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.

Are suits necessary now?

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

[Jason_A]

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.

[Jason_A]

It's a very recent picture, yes.

I guess it would serve a purpose - AND look more conservative!

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.

Hmmm, Interesting

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.

Indeed.

[marv]

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.

Chatty Cathy seems to have disappeared.

Chatty Cathy seems to have disappeared.

It's a teaching moment, all we can hope for is that it learned a lesson.

Good catch. 

[marv]

Oh well, I got suckered..

..but maybe I provided some good advice to someone who could use it.

You're not the only one.
Now that I look at it, he was was really upping his post count without saying much of anything.

I should have known with the gray socks post.  

[Dori]

I don't get it.   

[Mr Mannn]

I don't get it.

We should do this to honor the memory of our latest short lived troll.

I wonder if he wasn't Doug Bulna/DainBramaged.
