Williams Mullen Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty quick and the person interviewing me was nice. The questions they asked were pretty direct, though I'm not entirely sure what they were looking for in my responses. The feedback I got afterwards was just okay.

I applied through my school's resume forwarding system, and then updated my resume a few days later. Within two days of that, I was sent a form rejection email. Then, two weeks later, they emailed me saying they wanted to interview me. They had already reposted the job by then. It then took a full week just to set up an interview time. The interview itself was abysmal, with the partner and associate not at all interested in the process. It honestly felt like they were playing mind games with me. After this debacle, I heard from other law students that this is typical of Williams Mullen. Last year, they cancelled the summer associate program after extending offers, with no pay at all. They then asked those same people to interview for a post grad job only 3-4 months later and made them go through the whole process, only to tell them that they were on a hiring freeze.

The interview was pretty relaxed. I met with the attorneys I'd be supporting, and they all asked me questions and let me ask them questions too. It was a very pleasant experience. They explained the job duties and what the day-to-day would look like. I got the offer.
