RumbergerKirk is hosting a series of virtual workshops for Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law students during the 2020-2021 academic year. The fourth in a series of five workshops covered Interviewing Best Practices.

The presentation included tips for answering difficult questions and suggestions for resume and cover letter best practices. After the presentation, students participated in breakout sessions where their interview skills were put to the test by answering difficult questions and receiving feedback on their responses.

Key takeaways included:

• Every recruiter and attorney has different preferences so preparation and practice are critical, but it is important to be yourself.
• Be confident but not arrogant. Be ready to explain why you, with your unique experience, background, and skills, are the right person to hire.
