First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at New Jersey Courts.
Information Technology Analyst
The interview was pretty straightforward. It featured a panel of three interviewers, each posing 3-4 questions. The entire session lasted about 45-50 minutes and was primarily scenario-based, with minimal technical questions.
- Could you describe an instance where you managed a very large dataset and detail the steps you took?
Human Resources
The interview felt like a conversation, which was really comforting. After the interview where I sat at a table with 3 interviewers, I was taken to complete a typing assessment. Overall, it was a good experience. Just give yourself extra time to walk from the parking area and to get checked by security.
- Tell me about a time you had to work with a difficult coworker and how you dealt with that situation.
Judicial Law Clerk
The interview process kicks off with an initial phone call, typically from the judge's secretary, who acts as their key assistant. You'll spend a significant amount of time in chambers with the secretary, and they'll be evaluating you closely, perhaps even more than the judge. The judge definitely relies on their feedback when selecting a clerk each year.
- What are your plans for after the clerkship?
- Tell me about your summer internships.
- Have you worked for a judge before?
Business Analyst
They called to set up an interview at the Trenton office via phone and email. I was asked to prepare or bring a business requirement document. The interview itself was 45 minutes long, but they never followed up with me, not even a declined offer, leaving me in the dark for a while.
- Tell me about situations you encountered in your past roles.
- Are you familiar with mail merge?
- Do you have experience with data analysis?
