Hi everyone,
I have a final stage interview for an antitrust paralegal role at major US firm next week... The first stage was submitting the application and I had my first interview a few days after (which was an interview with a HR representative as well as the head of the paralegal team at this firm). I was recently told that I was successful and now I have a final interview which is with a partner and an associate from the competition/antitrust department.
Most of my friends who are paralegals have only had to do an application and 1 interview so I'm wondering if anyone on TCLA would have tips/insight as to how this final stage interview would differ in comparison to the first one and perhaps what questions/information I should prepare? For additional background, I actually did my masters in law with a Specialism in Competition and Antitrust Law. I also have a few vacation schemes under my belt, where I always sat in a contentious group (i.e. fraud, employment, commercial litigation, etc).
For the final interview, I'm expecting a lot more commercial awareness questions and perhaps what I learnt during my LLM and my vacation schemes rather than inquiring into what I did? But I'm not sure. The first interview with the HR person and the head of paralegals was a mix of competency questions, why this firm/why law and pointing out interesting things from my CV (leadership roles, extracurriculars, etc). For now, what I know for sure that the final stage interviewers will also have access to my CV and I won't be asked to do a case study or something of that nature during the interview as I asked about this last week.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!
