There were three stages in the interview process. First, I spoke with HR, then the hiring manager, and finally, two current paralegals. It was a friendly and low-stress experience.

The interview process seemed great initially, and everyone was very kind. However, I was ghosted for weeks and then received a manufactured rejection. The HR representative I was communicating with stopped responding to my messages after they decided to reject me. They waited a few months before sending a form rejection. This situation delayed my applications to other jobs.

I interviewed a few years back and met with one attorney who made some really inappropriate comments about my resume accomplishments, suggesting I shouldn't put them on my dating profile because it might make me look nerdy. Honestly, I probably should have just left after that. I wouldn't have wanted to work there anyway.

- Do you intend to go to law school?
