More and more, legal employers are asking behavioral questions during interviews to see how candidates would behave when confronted with an issue on the job. Since behavioral interviews are becoming so popular, it’d behoove you to prepare responses for some commonly-asked behavioral interview questions. Here are a few to start off with: 
 
  1. Tell me about a conflict you had at your last legal job and how you handled or resolved it.
  2. Give me an example of a time when you set a goal and were able to meet or achieve it.
  3. Have you handled a difficult situation with a lawyer? How?
  4. Tell me about how you worked effectively under pressure.
  5. Give an example of a situation when you had to go above and beyond expectations in order to complete a task.
  6. Tell me about a time where you had to lead a project and how you handled it.
  7. Give an example of when you needed to use logic to solve a problem at work. 

What behavioral questions have you gotten in an interview? Did we miss any? Let us know!

Success Stories

LawCrossing is fantastic! When I am looking for a job, it is the first place I come to. The service is very good and I enjoyed the emails. LawCrossing has more jobs and it is more tailored. Other sites gave a lot of irrelevant results. Your site may have a great algorithm, but it felt like an actual person choosing jobs they felt would be good based on my search. I will always recommend this site!
