Getting to that stage is such a huge achievement.Well in my experience, you will likely be interviewing for a particular practice, so have prepared solid answers for why that practice area, over others in the firm. Any recent developments? What's going on in that sphere? What about the clients? What do they want now? What could they want in the future giving certain economic and social trends? Answers to all these questions will help solidify your answer to that particular question.Next, why a paralegal role? Why not a trainee role? Why not legal secretary? The basic tasks and skills acquired may be similar across all roles, but speak to people and centre on the specific job description to know exactly what it is your role will entail. Is it a full-spec paralegal role? Is the focus on doc review? What will you actually be doing? Following this, why a paralegal role at THAT firm? Have you spoken to anyone there who inspired you to join? Have you been keeping up with firm news?Lastly, you don't need to have all the answers. Prepare to be asked questions that may seem out of the ordinary. Just be confident in yourself and your abilities. Know your CV in and out - you may be probed on it. If you know your skills well, you can easily apply them to any question.. no stress. If you're not sure about a question, you could always ask for more clarification - there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. You were invited to the interview for a reason, so please see that and give it your all, I am very sure you will excel in this.Best wishes, and do let us know if you have any more questions.</blockquote>
