Interviewed Sep 2011 in Washington, DC (took a day)
My agency setup an interview with Skadden. My resume was sent over and an interview was scheduled for the next day. I interviewed with the HR Manager and the paralegal supervisor. Both individuals were very friendly and outgoing. The interviews tended to be more discussion-based regarding the position, the firm, and my experience. A few basic questions were asked regarding: my ideal work environment, my openness to overtime and travel, my strengths and weaknesses.
During the interview, I could sense that Skadden wasn't a good fit for me and I believe they could too. We are from to different cultures. I'm prefer a more casual work environment.

OCI followed by a callback in which you meet two associates and 2 partners. they are all fit interviews and resumes generally speak for your qualifications themselves. be prepared with questions and talking points. the people are generally just trying to get a fel for your personaility, and as someone who has now given interviews, the lawyers are generally looking to see if you are the type of person they wouldnt mind spending long hours with, can be social, and can communicate well with clients.
