In this business, you really can’t assume anything with recruiters, law firm senior associates and/or partners that interview you for attorney positions; however, what do you think about interviewers that appear either extremely excited or extremely bored when speaking to you? I’m referring to in-person and virtual interviews. If I’m invited for an interview with a firm, I’d like to know that the attorney speaking with me appears genuinely interested in our discussion. Is it just me?

Not just you. It’s important that your interviewer is excited to have you. If you’ll be working with them, it’s even more important that they show genuine interest in you.

You’re interviewing them just as much as they’re interviewing you! They should be genuinely interested in your discussion. If they aren’t, I would seriously consider that when making any decision about working there.

Exactly! I always have my questions primed to go.
