Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Legal Aid Society.
Investigator
The interview process is quite straightforward. It starts with an initial call, and then there's a panel interview where they'll ask about your knowledge of the criminal justice system and any relevant experience you have. It's a good process for learning and gaining experience.
- What's your understanding of the criminal justice system?
- Can you share your experiences related to the criminal justice system?
Investigator
Applied online and got scheduled for an interview about a month later. This was a surprise since past applications to LAS positions took longer (2-3 months) to hear back. The process has about 2-3 rounds. The first round is a panel interview and the second is with senior leadership. I heard back after the first round a month later and didn't get selected. Everyone was really nice. Just be yourself and don't be afraid to show your sense of humor.
- What makes you want this job?
- What experience do you have with investigations?
- Can you describe a situation where you used social media to find a witness?
Investigator
I applied for the Investigator role in the Criminal Division at Brooklyn LAS via email and heard back about two weeks later to schedule an interview for another two weeks out. The head of the division and three lawyers interviewed me. They asked some behavioral and philosophical questions, then had me do a mock interview on the spot and asked follow-up questions based on my performance. They asked if I could secure a vehicle if hired and said I'd hear back in two weeks. My references were contacted during that time, but I received a rejection email about a month later.
- For why you want this job?
- Tell me what you know about this position?
- Since investigators often work alone in the field, are you okay with that?
