Nothing it’s a fit interview. Main question will be walk me through your resume/tell me about yourself so prepare by crafting elevator pitch

Hopefully this isn’t redundant or too obvious, but also just try to stick out with something unique; and it never hurts to be generally likable. You’re assumed to be qualified at this point, so this is the “can I survive sitting next to this person on a plane” portion of the interview.

My partner basically just asked me if I had any questions for him. It took like 15 minutes. Good luck!

Thank you for the reply. Mich appreciated

Show your personality. My partner told me I had the job based the what other interviewers said so he just wanted to know a little bit about me and why I wanted to work for the firm. Really emphasize why it’s the best fit for you.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
