I think this is ridiculous personally, but one of my colleagues has a rule that it’s an instant turn-off if the candidate doesn’t ask a question that proves they googled her resume. She thinks it shows they’re not really interested if they didn’t go to that effort. I’ve had to remind her several times that our candidates (including ME when she interviewed me) don’t always know who is even interviewing them until about 30 minutes before.
That is mental. It might not be interesting enough of a CV to ask anything? The only thing I could think of might be how lateral integration was if the interviewer was a lateral as well.
I interviewed a 3L a first year position and he told m he went to law school because his dad and grandpa are lawyers and he didn’t want to do finance. He also knew nothing about the firm or practice area. But I think you can generally tell when someone wants a job vs just applying to whatever.
