Podcast Episode 473: Being Yourself in a Job Interview (w/Sadie Jones)

October 8, 2024 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones back with us to discuss how to be authentic in a job interview.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The pressure to be the perfect candidate
  • Overcoming insecurities before going into interviews
  • What you might be asked and how to answer in the following situations:
    • You’re at a lower-ranked school but have done really well
    • You’re at a top school but have a few low grades
    • You’re not the “typical” hire for a particular organization
  • Emphasizing relevant skills and interests

Thanks for listening!
