Behavioral Technical
The interview process was very casual and conversational. The interviewers were really keen to get to know you. It was a mix of conversational questions, like telling us about yourself and why you're interested in Willkie, and behavioral questions. The interviewers also looked at the resume for anything that stood out and asked us to talk about it.

Behavioral Presentation
Pretty simple process. Applied and then got an online video interview about a week later. There were 4 questions, and I think I had 1 minute 30 seconds to answer each, with 30 seconds to prep. Make sure you know the firm's practice areas!
