When interviewing for a position as a paralegal, you'll be evaluated for your critical thinking, organizational, and legal writing skills. Lawyers want paralegals who can excel in a fast-paced environment and are organized and efficient when conducting research for large legal cases. Expect to answer questions about your previous legal experience as well as your ability to prioritize tasks with competing deadlines.
Here are three top paralegal interview questions and how to answer them:
How to answer: Interviewers ask this question because they want to know where your motivation comes from. They want to be sure you're self-motivated and passionate about the position. A thoughtful, personal response can stand out to interviewers.
How to answer: Research is a significant part of working as a paralegal. Employers want to know they can trust the research you perform. Talk about past experience and discuss the steps you take to collect information and verify sources.
How to answer: An organized paralegal is an effective paralegal, so talk about how you stay organized on the job. Interviewers want to make sure you can stay organized to reduce stress and increase productivity at the office. Emphasize your time-management skills by talking about a time you met a tight deadline. You can also walk an interviewer through your day so they can gain a better understanding of your work process.

I was sent to HR for what I was told a meeting instead they advised testing. I was fine with testing into they hand me 5 timed test with very poor copying, you could tell if it was a smudge mark or comma. The testing was poorly set up, I would say with the quality of testing you get what you pay for. I have tested at other firms with much more quality and I would add much more pay. Less
