Hi all,

I am about to interview with a City firm for a paralegal position in an advisory practice.

I applied through a recruiter and the interview is to be conducted by a senior lawyer at the firm. Should I expect this to be structured similarly to a VS/TC interview, or is it going to be significantly more random? I am particularly curious about what questions I should expect.

Thank you!

I would expect questions to be more focused on why specifically a paralegal role, and especially why that department over other practice areas.

I would also expect questions to be more on the skills needed for paralegals - attention to detail, time management, dealing with lots of information, being flexible/adaptable to changes in work pressures.
