Hey everyone!

I had an interview for a paralegal position at Squire Patton Boggs today, so I thought I would share my experience, as Im sure it may be helpful for some.

It was a very straightforward interview. I was asked about my CV, more specifically, the most important skills I've gained from my work experiences so far. I was asked why I wanted to join SPB and why I decided to become a corporate lawyer.

Finally, I was asked a few situational questions. Such as, if I had a client deadline approaching, would I rather submit a perfect but late piece of work, or would I rather submit it an average piece of work, but on time.

The partner that interviewed me was very friendly and easy to talk to.

I hope this is helpful for some!
