Tips for a Successful Interview:

These were written from our perspective—but they’ll help you make a better impression in any law firm interview.

1. Speak clearly and simply. Plain language indicates a person knows what he or she is talking about.
2. Review our website and ask questions based on what you’ve learned about us.
3. Think through why you want to work for a firm our size, doing our kind of work. What attracts you to Houser Henry?
4. Be prepared to tell us things about yourself that aren’t in your résumé.  We’ve read the résumé; an interview is to help learn more about you as a person.
5. Smile and relax. Show us a person we’ll want to spend time with for years to come.
