First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Urban Justice Center.
Staff Attorney
The interview process was pretty standard, with two rounds. Both rounds involved panels from the division I was applying to. They asked standardized questions related to the work, like my public interest experience, why I wanted to join UJC, and my interest in serving the public.
- What do you do when a client begins talking about something unrelated?
- Can you tell me about your experience in public interest law?
- What motivates your interest in working for the UJC?
Software Engineer Intern
It was an online interview and it was pretty relaxed, not too stressful. The people interviewing me were super nice and welcoming. They just asked the usual stuff, no surprises, and a few things from my resume. Overall, it was a really great time.
- Can you tell me why you applied to this role and specifically to UJC, and what you hope to gain from this internship?
- Basic questions were asked, including some specifically related to your resume.
Front Desk Receptionist
It was easy and straightforward. First, I had an interview with the director, then a second round. They asked questions about hypothetical situations and also wanted to learn more about my background and if I could handle a high-paced environment.
- How would you respond to hypothetical situations?
- Can you tell us about your background?
- Are you able to work in a fast-paced environment?
Attorney
I interviewed with about 10 staff members at UJC, which was a bit intimidating. Many of the questions were straightforward, but there were a few more difficult questions that seemed to not really have good answers, and there was a mock client interview.
- Can you tell us about your background?
