Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Weil Gotshal.
Legal Assistant
I had a short 5-10 minute phone call with HR first, and then I went into the office for an interview with another HR person and an attorney. That in-person meeting lasted about 30-40 minutes total. They let me know something within 2-3 weeks.
- Can you describe your work style?
Paralegal
I had a few chats with different lawyers, each one lasting about 15 minutes. They'd ask stuff about my resume or just get to know me personally. It was pretty straightforward and not too stressful. My advice is to just chat naturally and try to have a good time with it.
- What motivated you to submit your application?
Paralegal
I sent in my resume to an assistant/secretary. A recruiter got in touch via email and I called her to set up a time for my interview. She was quite friendly. After about two weeks, I went in for an in-person interview with the recruiter I had spoken with and another recruiter who used to be a paralegal.
