<p>i got an email today telling me to contact this lawyer’s secretary to set up an interview at his/her office (the emailer didn’t give me a name lol) </p>

<p>so, any tips? dress in a full suit? research a little about the school’s history?? thanks guys.</p>

<p>Business casual is fine unless you’re directed otherwise.</p>

<p>Beyond that, read one of the 500 interview threads here.</p>

<p>yes, research about the lawyer/firm. any major cases? have good reasons why you want to work there, dress business casual. get a haircut, cover up tattoos, don’t smoke cigarettes beforehand.</p>

<p>“If you are going to an elitist attorney’s law office, dress formally. (In a full suit for the guys.)”</p>

<p>from the interview thread…</p>

<p>Stupid advice. He’s interviewing for Columbia, not a job at the guy’s law firm. It’s good to look up the guy for general background, but the interview is about Columbia, not his legal career.</p>

<p>bump. dress code?</p>

<p>Are you an applicant from Singapore? Because we might have the same interviewer. I too had a lawyer contact me asking me to set an appointment with his sec.</p>

<p>Anyway, I went in business casual, which is the safest attire for the rest of your college interviews as well.</p>

<p>no i’m from jersey. </p>

<p>i’m getting strong suggestions to go with the full suit… better to overdress than to underdress i’m assuming?</p>
