Interviewing Insights

Many of my recent blog posts have been about switching jobs. One of the downsides to leaving one position for another is the process of interviewing. I thought it was only fair to open up the conversation to interviews – personal experiences, tips, etc. Maybe some of you have already checked out the resources section of the Morgan Ross site, but you can find some valuable information there.

Whether you’re entry-level or partner-level, interviews can be stressful. They can follow a variety of formats, from a one-on-one dining interview to a panel-style stress interview. Even if you’ve been in the industry for years, a new interview or discussion with your boss about a promotion can make you feel like a new hire.

Familiarize yourself with these questions to get comfortable talking about subjects that would normally put you on edge, like salary, responsibility and personal strengths and weaknesses. Our Interviewing Tips suggest questions that you can ask your interviewer, and ways that you can demonstrate an interest in their firm. Try keeping an eye out for news on the firm in the local newspaper in the week leading up to your interview. All of this preparation will make you more at-ease on the big day. I’m sure all of us have some funny interview stories under our belts in spite of adequate preparation. Anyone willing to share?
