The interview was the standard process for a law firm. I met with two attorneys initially and invited back for another round to meet with other partners and associates. The interview was fairly long which is typical for a law firm. I met with some people together and others individually. They asked the typical questions of why you want to work at the firm and about my resume.

Easy. I met with a number of lawyers for about 20-30 minutes each. They asked me standard questions. Most of the interviewers were friendly and somewhat prepared. Some seemed to be looking at my resume for the first time while I was in front of them.

Question 1
They generally asked standard questions about my education and experience. Nothing tricky.

I'll admit up front that I didn't get this job. I interviewed with one partner and one associate -- and the associate flat out admitted how little excitement he got from doing his job. The partner on the other hand was laid back and seemed to want to know only about one weird thing on my resume. I later learned who got the position over me, and it seemed they wanted a "bro" they could hang with.

Question 1
Two partners have both given you assignments that are competing for your time and you cannot finish both without significantly impairing the work quality. What do you do?
