 | Great guide to interviewing in the legal field! Nov 22, 2009 |
| The book is a well-researched, detailed, and engaging interviewing resource for J.D. and LL.M. candidates, attorneys, as well as foreign lawyers planning to practice in the U.S. The authors address the intricacies and pitfalls of not only firm interviews, but also in-house, clerkship, government, and lateral interviews. As a result, the book is an invaluable comprehensive interviewing guide for law students and attorneys pursuing various career paths within the legal profession. | | |  | There are better books... Oct 12, 2009 |
| As an attorney who has worn both hats as an interviewer and an interviewee I didn't think this book was very helpful. It covers some of the basic stuff, but I thought most of it was obvious. Dress conservatively, don't wear too much jewelery, don't talk about embarassing or awkard things, don't talk about your weaknessnes unprompted. It doesn't emphasize enough the game that a lot of interviewers play by asking you to talk about how you have worked well in a team, how you have solved a legal problem creatively, etc. You need to have specific answers ready for each of these questions. I agree with the other reviewer who thought Guerrilla Tactics for Getting the Legal Job of your Dreams was a much better book. It goes more into how to specifically sell yourself...which is 90% of the interview in my opinion. | | | | Make this book your personal interview bible! Aug 12, 2009 |
| As someone who interviews and hires people on a regular basis, I can't praise this book enough. It offers balanced advice from a perspective of a generation of young lawyers who must meet the expectations of a more formal generation. Call me old-fashioned, but I would NOT hire a woman wearing a pantsuit to her interview, unless she was truly exceptional. Just like I wouldn't hire a man who was anything less than formal during his interview. I am looking for people who will follow my guidance when they work for me. In short, if you want an offer from a hiring partner who is 20+ years your senior, you better act and dress in a way that partner expects. I like this book because it shows that the author obviously spent a great deal of time finding out what the employers want and expect. It tells you exactly what your interviewers expect from you - not what your competition erroneously thinks they expect. | | | | Thoroughly researched and fun to read! Aug 11, 2009 |
| I used the information in this book to successfully prepare for clerkship interviews. This book gives detailed and insightful tips on how to research your interviewer, what to bring to the interview, and how to dress. It also explains how to answer questions during the interview, what questions to ask and not to ask, and what to do in case of an awkward silence. What makes this book really fun to read are the real-life examples that describe other students' experiences while interviewing. It is obvious that the authors took the time to interview many lawyers and law students to create such a thorough resource. This book is a great source of information for both students and attorneys intending to make a move to a different firm, and I highly recommend it. | | |  | Very bad, overly-formal, interview advice Jul 6, 2009 |
| As the former hiring partner for a conservative AmLaw 100 firm, I found certain advice in this guide to be ridiculous. In 2009, women do not need to wear a skirt to an interview at the risk of not appearing professional in pants. Nor is it necessary for any interviewee to follow the overly-formal dress code and talking points included in this book. Guerrilla Tactics for Getting the Legal Job of Your Dreams is a MUCH better book. | | | Write your own review about Nail Your Law Job Interview: The Essential Guide to Firm, Clerkship, Government, In-House, and Lateral Interviews
