Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What skills from prior work experience/personal experiences would be applicable as a junior associate?
I applied online. I interviewed at Katten (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview was relatively conversational without detailed questions about why Katten, as it was a 20 min screener. More general questions about why I chose to pursue law, past jobs, and undergraduate history. But should come prepared with one question to ask the interviewer.
2 hours, 20 minutes with different attorneys and one recruiter. Everyone was really nice and no out of the blue questions. People were very excited to share information about their work in the firm.
