First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Kings County District Attorney's Office.
Deputy District Attorney
I went through the interview process via my university recruiting program. I spoke with an administrator who asked me a lot of trivia questions about Brooklyn and the district attorney. She didn't ask me about my qualifications or interests.
- Who is the district attorney for the county?
Intern
The interview was pretty relaxed. We talked about me, my hometown, and school, like the classes I was taking. We also discussed law school and what it's like being a lawyer. It felt more like a chat than a formal interview.
- Regarding your classes, which one is your favorite that you're currently taking or have taken, and could you explain why?
Paralegal
Had a screening interview first, then a panel interview with people from different departments, and finally a 1:1 with the chief of staff. It wasn't the most organized process, I felt. You don't actually get to meet the people you'd be working with directly, which makes it hard to get a real feel for the job. They asked standard situational questions, and also asked about my experience and why I'm interested in this specific role.
- How has your background prepared you for this role?
- Can you describe a time you had a conflict with a colleague and how you resolved it?
Assistant District Attorney
I applied online and it took about a month and a half from submission to receiving an offer. Typically involves four rounds of interviews: an initial phone screen, a panel interview with three individuals, an interview with a higher-up from the executive office, and a final interview with the District Attorney. But it's sometimes condensed into three rounds. I went through only three rounds: the phone screen, the panel interview, and the executive office interview.
- Why do you want to become a prosecutor?
- Why specifically Kings County?
- Are you interviewing with other offices?
