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.
