I have a follow up interview with a non-profit/legal aid tomorrow. What questions should I potentially expect? Any advice?
It will be a virtual interview over Zoom for an hour.
For some info about me. I've been volunteering at my legal aid for about a year. Until recently, I was volunteering 3 days a week for a full shift.
The type of law we're dealing with here is eviction defense. Which is similar to what I do at my current place. I help litigants with answering unlawful detainers, motions for more time, set aside etc. My current organization and the one I am interviewing with have lots of crossover with people having worked with both organizations in some capacity.
I am very familiar with the local ordinances in my county. And I know what software I could be using.
I also am aware that I am gonna be dealing with the same type of litigants in this open role. So I do have a sense in what to expect and have dealt with litigants from those obviously mentally ill, difficult to work with, homeless, to the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I also have experience in the startup world. So I am used to wearing multiple hats at once and dealing with deadlines.
My issue could be is indeed drafting. A lot of my role is more research oriented and client intervewing.
But I feel I need to be on my best. This is the only gig so far where I made it to the second round.
Just any tips could help. Like what questions might be appropriate to ask. What not to do. Thanks for reading! I hope I can find responses from people who are in this area of law.
