Interview tip of the day: Leave any emotional baggage at home.

It’s not a secret that looking for a job and interviewing can really take an emotional toll on someone. Within the legal field, it is a reality that some interviewers will take it upon themselves to be unfairly rude or harsh to potential candidates- just because they can.

It is important to “shake off” all prior negative interview experiences. You don’t want to unconsciously “self-sabotage” yourself in any future interviews, by coming off as bitter or defensive. Thus, remember to leave any emotional baggage regarding this issue, at home.  Doing so will allow you to be focused and positive at your interview, which will go a long way in creating a good impression.
