I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Jackson Lewis (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
Long interview process. I interviewed with approximately 6-8 attorneys during the first round. The second round, I interviewed with the same number of attorneys. It was conversational. Difficulty was based on who the interviewers were.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions about interest in employment/labor law.
pretty straight forward interview process. Just know what your practice is and why you want to move. I had a screener and two interviews. It was an entirely remote interview process

Question 1
Have you asked your (full service) firm if you can practice in their L&E department?
Screening interview plus interview with partners on team. Partners involved in the interview just went through my resume line by line. Interview was more "describe each experience" than "let's see if you're a good fit" type.
Screener with recruiter. First interview with one partner. Second interview with two partners. The first interview partner was great- sense of humor and spoke like a human being, as opposed to an attorney. The two partners at the second interview were stereotypical attorneys - no sense of humor, boring personalities, and “all about business.”

Question 1
How large is my current case load. Why I am leaving my current firm. What is your experience so far.
