You are just starting out in your legal career, or maybe this isn't your first job in law…either way we understand that you will want to impress at an interview and everyone is prone to nerves at times.

To help you to prepare, try following the tips below.

• Prior to the interview familiarise yourself with Piper Alderman's key areas of practice so you have an understanding of the firm.
• Arrive on time.
• Relax and be yourself.
• Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for things to be repeated or explained.
• Bring along any written materials or information to support your application.
• Be prepared to expand on key areas of your experience or studies.

Remember the interview is a two way process.

We want to find out more about your capabilities and fit with our culture. But the interview should also provide you with an insight into our firm and the role, so make sure you make the most of the opportunity to ask questions.
