Interviews

After sending out countless resumes I finally got a call back for an interview. As excited as I am that someone finally liked what they saw on my resume, I am equally terrified for the questions that I am going to face. I have been busy researching all the latest cases that have hit the scene and am trying to cover my grounds.

For the next week I am going to have to get my interview attire together.. Meaning I am going to have to decide on the right suit, right heels, right bag, right earrings....basically the right everything!

I also have to think of questions to ask during the interview. I always get the "Is there any other questions you might have for us" at the end of the interview. I always feel stupid when I say "No, I think that's it."

If anyone knows any interview ending questions I should ask please leave a comment!

Ca Bar Exam 2010

Wow I just realized that the next Ca bar exam is just around the corner. I believe in my last few weeks of the home stretch I was trying not to freak out (which is hard), and trying to come to terms that it is impossible to learn everything. So, If you are reading this and your studying for the bar please try to stay calm. Keep studying, and keep taking breaks when you need them. The good thing about the bar is that it's the same hard ass test for everyone who sits for it. Everyone has to answer the same questions. If you come across a question that you don' know (and this will happen) don't freak out. Remind yourself that everyone else in the room doesn't know it either.
The best thing you can do when you are face with a "what in the hell type of question is this" is to STOP....Breathe..... and make something up. Stick with the directions and just answer what they ask. Nothing more, nothing less.

Keep trucking, keep studying, keep praying.

You will pass!
