With a tough job market comes more competition and a greater need of preparation for the job seeking, application and interviewing process. It is important to consider your answers, if not practice your responses to, questions that a potential employer or interviewer may ask. In talking to attorneys, paralegals and others, I have gathered some sample questions. I make no promise that these are the questions you will be asked; however, they are probably similar to some that you will be asked.
1. What is your greatest strength?
2. What is your greatest weakness?
3. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
4. What is the last book you read?
5. What is the last movie you saw?
6. What technology/software are you familiar with?
7. Why did you leave your last job?
8. If I went out right now and looked in your car, what would I find?
9. What is the subject of CCP section 2034? (A question for a person who claims to have experience as a litigation paralegal.)
10. Do you have any questions?
The “correct” answer to these questions will depend on the interviewer and the situation, but you could prepare yourself by considering what you might respond to some or all of these questions. It is important to prepare for as much as you can. Your preparation will be obvious to the interviewer.
