Question 1
Q: what type of law are you interested in practicing?
I applied online. I interviewed at SEC (Washington, DC) in Jan 2021
Interview
I applied online and heard back a couple of weeks later. I then received an email asking to set up an interview time with two attorneys from the division I was interviewing for. The phone call lasted about 30 minutes.
The interview was very relaxed. It seemed to be more of a fit check rather than a substantive interview. Only lasted about 15 minutes. The interviewer barely asked any follow up questions.
