      General - Paralegal/Administrative Work Interview

      Chicago, IL
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (Chicago, IL) in May 2024

      Interview

      The interview process was fairly simple. It consisted of a phone screening with HR followed by a two-part interview with two junior paralegals and a senior paralegal. The team was very friendly and asked a variety of questions with plenty of time to ask questions of them. They asked standard interview questions and pointed situational questions. For the second interview, it was clear that the focus was on how the candidate would mesh with the rest of the team.
