To assist you in preparing for EIW interviews, we have added a new video mock interview module to CSM – all you need is a webcam in order to take advantage of this additional interview preparation tool! You can record your own responses to sample screening interview questions and then review the videos to judge your own performance. This is an excellent way to check yourself and prepare your answers before the real interviews begin on August 14.
To use the module:
-Log into CSM (https://law-nyu-csm.symplicity.com/students)
-Click on “Mock Interviews” on the left side
-Click on “Recommended Interviews” to see a basic (five question) Sample Law Firm Screening Interview
-Click “Record New Attempt.” You will be prompted to test your audio and video settings. You will then have a chance to practice one interview question before recording an attempt at the entire five question sample interview. You may save as many attempts at the interview as you wish.
You may also click on “My Mock Interviews” to create your own interview with additional sample questions. If you wish to practice just one question, or practice a different set of questions, use this section of the module to select your own question or questions for practice. Click “Create Mock Interview,” name the interview (e.g., “Advanced Questions” or “Tell me about yourself”). Click the arrow next to “Subjects-Law” to see the full list of questions available. Select the questions you wish to practice and click “Add.” You may reorder the questions in your sample questions within your interview on the right.
We currently have only sample screening interview questions uploaded to the system to help you prepare for EIW. However, this system will be updated throughout the year to add sample callback interviews and sample questions for other types of employment. We hope that you find this system useful!
