[QUOTE="shannontongg, post: 94068, member: 16519"] My tips for building rapport would be: Be enthusiastic about law/the firm, and be passionate when talking about your past experiences. This will hopefully prompt your interviewer to engage with you more. This is what I failed to do in my interview because I was thrown by the initial convo! Where relevant, be sure to flag any experiences of yours which are more unique. For me, I spoke about competing in powerlifting championships which others find unexpected! 9 times out of 10 this prompted a conversation outside of their planned questions. See if there are any opportunities for you to turn the interview into a conversation. For instance, if you are asked why you are interested in the firm, could you end it by asking the interviewers what they enjoy about the firm and turn it into a back and forth conversation? People love talking about themselves and sharing their own experiences, so I feel like it can result in them leaving the interview with a better feeling about you. I hope these help! [/QUOTE]
