关于独立工作的能力及面试结语：
Ability to Work Independently/Goal Direction
1. Have you ever undertaken something just to prove to yourself or others that you could do it?
2. What non-law-related goals do you have that you would like to accomplish in the next few years?
Are the student's non-law-related goals consistent with the job s/he is interviewing for?
3. Which law school courses have you enjoyed most, and why? Which have you least enjoyed?
4. What part of law school is most challenging for you?
5. Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of? Why?
6. If you don't get a job with Dickstein Shapiro, what will you do?
Clearly, students, as good lawyers, should have a Plan B in mind. Good answers might include demonstrations of interest in firms that have something in common with DS, e.g., large firms in Washington with similar practice areas.
Closing Question: It looks like our time is up. Do you have any other questions?
Students must ask a question. It should be something short and easily answered, since the interviewer really just means "Our time is up", but has tacked on "Do you have any other questions" because they always do. But students can't admit that they don't have any other questions, because they should leave the interviewer with the feeling that if the interviewer had time the student would like to talk to them all day. Good responses include: "If I have the opportunity to work for Dickstein Shapiro this summer, will I have the chance to work with you?" Or, "I am excited about this opportunity. What additional information or references do you need to make your decision?"
