[QUOTE="D95, post: 20931, member: 3094"] From my experience, it hugely depends on the firm/company, however questions are generally focused on your experience (virtually every single one of my paralegal interviews started with "Please tell me about your previous experience") . I would also expect a number of situational judgment questions, i.e. how would you react if XYZ happened, have you ever dealt with a stressful situation and how you overcame it, etc. I don't know how experienced you are in the banking area, but I would get my head around the basic topics at the very least to have a solid understanding of what you might be required to do as a paralegal. Normally there would be also questions about your plans for the future (because sometimes they are looking for career paralegals), but seeing that you are already a Future Trainee I think it would be pretty self-explanatory so they know that you want to work for them only for a fixed-term. I generally find paralegal interviews much more relaxed than TC/VS ones (although I may be biased, because I work in-house and it is a totally different, more informal setting). I hope that the above helps, good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
