434: How to Show Interest in a Job Position (w/Sadie Jones)
Manage episode 398160865 series 2391274
Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to discuss how to make sure you're showing an "appropriate" level of interest in a job position.
In this episode we discuss:
- What are employers and interviewers generally looking for in terms of an applicant's interest?
- Should you spend time researching the interviewer (if you've been given a name), or focus more on the company/firm?
- Tips for showing an appropriate level of interest in your cover letter, and during the networking and interviewing processes
- What are some good (and bad) ways to answer the question "Why does this position interest you?"
- Examples of questions to ask in an interview during question time
