Participate in a mock interview for a legal position.

Participation should give students the opportunity to

• practice presenting a professional appearance and desirable interviewing skills (e.g., maintaining eye contact, asking informed questions, wearing appropriate clothing and accessories, demonstrating professional demeanor)
• identify undesirable characteristics (e.g., speaking too softly; failing to answer questions completely; wearing inappropriate clothing, jewelry, or cologne).

Whenever possible, students should be interviewed by industry professionals and receive feedback from them as to what the employer’s expectations are in an interview. Interviews may also be conducted virtually (i.e., online), by phone, or in person.
