Obsequiousness and parsimoniousness

Hold on for this epic ramble...

Express that you want to come in to learn by taking on every administrative task plus crush any and all, analytical work and report writing

Have a positive attitude and eagerness to jump in to get shit done

Be yourself, don’t try to be overly professional or overly casual - strike a balance by sharing both personal and professional stories

Look the partner up on LinkedIn and pick one or two things to ask him ie what was business school like, when was the last time you went to one of the schools football games...the first few minutes it’s ok to discuss weekend plan and other non professional topics before jumping into the interview

Remember to walk in with a smile and try to be first to ask do anything fun this past weekend or any fun plans for the weekend? Better than asking hi how are you

Wishing you success
