Job interview experts of the misc - need advice for first interview

[Brosnbroccoli]

I’m finishing my degree and getting my masters at the end of June and recently send out a few applications.
I’ve landed a job interview with a top tier law firm in my country. Basically my countrys equivalent to Watchell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz or Skadden etc.

Although I’ve worked part time/full time since I was 13, I’ve never had a ‘real’ job interview at a place like this. I’m from a working class family so they cannot offer advice in this regard. Likewise, most of my friends are either still studying or working for uncomparable firms.

If anyone has experience with job interviews at ‘big law’, accounting or other consulting businesses who recruit only the very best, I would greatly appreciate your advice.

What specific advice are u looking for? Aside from technical expertise of the field more or less all interviews are the same

Best advice I can give you is just know your own resume inside and out, BE YOURSELF, and google “top interview questions” and practice them often with real life people. I would also try to interview at other places first if possible. Interviewing is a skill like any other and it takes a few times of doing it to feel comfortable and let who you are shine through.

Do a lot of prep on the firm so you have an idea of what it is specifically they do, have an idea of their expectations from you, and let them know you are ready to be there. They don't want a timid mouse they are going to have to train. They want someone who can hold their own, have a personality that fits with what they've already got, and of course that you'll make them money.
