I have an interview to become a junior paralegal/legal assistant for a personal injury firm in a couple days and wanted to know what questions I should ask. My last interview I was asked if I had any questions and my mind went blank after the second question so I just need some ideas to bounce off of.
I’ve been applying for legal assistant jobs for almost six months and haven’t gotten many interviews. Of the interviews I have done, they obviously ask why I want the position. For some context, I wanted to become a lawyer pretty much my entire life, but I haven’t been able to get good scores on the LSAT. I want to at least work at a law firm to see whether or not I want to continue trying to get into law school or do something else in the legal field. I’ve been applying to entry level positions because I have never worked or interned at a law office before. Every time I get an interview in person or a pre-interview, I try not to mention that I wanted to become a lawyer because I’ve heard people say that employers won’t hire people who want to go to law school. I guess I’m just asking what do I say when they ask “why are you interested in this position” or “why are you interested in law”?
