I'm not local so the first video interview had some technical difficulties, so we switched to a conference call. I spoke with 3 people, though I think there were supposed to be more involved based on the initial video interview invite. The interview felt pretty direct sometimes, which is fine. They asked questions in a way that made it seem like they were genuinely interested in hiring me, unlike some interviews that focus on 'why should we hire you?'. It felt pretty neutral, though I did pick up on a few subtle cues. Overall, I'm glad it wasn't a multi-stage interview process.

The interview process was very straightforward and pleasant. I was asked about my legal background and my interests in public interest. I was asked whether I'd be interested in doing intake, research and drafting memorandums, and attending community clinics. It was approx. 20 minutes long.

Had a phone chat for about half an hour. They asked about my legal background, any law school stuff I did that's relevant, and why I wanna work at LAFLA. The person interviewing me was a lawyer who really cares about public interest and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.

Had a short interview, about 45 minutes. The interviewer mentioned they were reading from a script, and I saw them typing notes. I followed up but never heard back about a decision, which was a bummer.
