As a senior level associate relocating to Chicago from out of state, I found Michelle’s advice and counsel invaluable. She used her law firm and in-house contacts to secure the broad range of interviewing opportunities I was looking for and provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision when the time came to accept a position. She is also just a really lovely and delightful person, on top of being absolutely and always a professional. I highly recommend Michelle and her firm to any lawyer looking to make a lateral move.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during your interview preparation sessions?

For candidates we take on, our interview preparation sessions are tailored to your specific needs and the role you’re pursuing. We begin by understanding the position and employer, then guide you through strategies to effectively communicate your skills, experience, and value. Sessions often include mock interviews, advice on handling tough questions, and tips for making a strong impression. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and prepared to excel in your interview.

Can you help me prepare for interviews with large law firms or corporate legal departments?

Yes, we specialize in helping candidates prepare for interviews with large law firms and corporate legal departments. These interviews often require a strong understanding of the employer’s culture, the role’s expectations, and industry trends. Our team provides tailored guidance to help you present yourself as the ideal candidate, whether you’re meeting with a hiring partner or a corporate legal executive.

Is interview prep the same as interview coaching?

While they are similar, interview prep focuses specifically on the upcoming interview, including tailored strategies and practice for that specific role. Interview coaching, on the other hand, is a broader process that can include long-term skill-building, such as improving overall communication, body language, or confidence. At Atticus Recruiting, we provide a focused, results-driven approach to interview preparation.

Will you provide feedback on my answers to common legal interview questions?

Absolutely. We will review your answers to typical legal interview questions, providing constructive feedback to refine your responses. Our goal is to help you articulate your experience, skills, and achievements clearly and confidently while tailoring your answers to the employer’s expectations.

Is my interview preparation kept confidential?

Yes, all aspects of our interview preparation services are strictly confidential. We understand the sensitive nature of your job search and ensure that your information and sessions are handled with the utmost discretion. 

Do recruiters provide post-interview feedback from employers?

Yes, when possible, we share feedback from employers after your interview. This can help you understand their impressions, identify areas for improvement, or clarify next steps in the hiring process. Post-interview feedback is an invaluable part of helping you succeed in your current and future opportunities.

Preparing for an interview can be the key to unlocking your next career opportunity. At Atticus Recruiting, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you present your best self with confidence and clarity. Contact us today to learn how our tailored interview preparation can help you achieve your career goals.
