I applied for a junior associate position right after finishing law school. I had a video call, which was during Covid. I talked to one of the partners in the practice area I was interested in. They asked me some typical interview questions, like about why I chose certain classes or extracurriculars, why I wanted to work in that specific practice area, and my reasons for going to law school.

I got this job through my law school. It was a 20-minute video call with a senior associate. The associate was nice and wanted to learn more about me, my interest in the firm, and why I applied, instead of asking tough questions.
