[blindlaw] Interviewing Post-Law School

Wed Sep 12 14:38:21 UTC 2018

I practiced for 36 years and experienced both sides of the interview process.  While I am know longer practicing, I would be happy to participate in the call and share any observations that might be useful.

I have a conference call account with free conference call.com if y’all would like to use that. How does Thursday at 2 PM work for you folks? Does anyone else have any other suggested times?

I also recently went through a job hunt after having been out of school for eight and a half years (with almost eight of those spent working for one firm). My  interview experiences   included in-person, telephone, and facetime interviews.  I would be interested in joining the call if my schedule permits.

I do, however, have some suggestions that might help you get a job, and maybe you could help me identify if I am doing anything wrong. Would you be available for a brief phone conversation anytime this Wednesday or Thursday?
