Had another interview today...and got the standard questions, plus "What are your hobbies?" And of course, you first say, "Well, before school I had hobbies..." and then you realize that you've not only been doing nothing but school, but you've ceased to have hobbies. Drinking heavily does not count...and I wasn't going to explain blogging, not to mention that I believe that I may be the only blogger at this school and I like that. The job was interesting in that you'd effectively be a hired gun for research. It was implied heavily that there would not be any job beyond this summer, and being a 1L I really don't mind. I was even told, "If you can go back to your old firm for the summer, I'd do that." (I made the point that if I were to go back to the previous job for the summer I'd only be a legal secretary, not a law clerk, as they do not hire 1L clerks.) This implies two things...one, this job might really suck, and two, this won't look good on your resume. I find that terribly hard to believe...it's a publicly held multinational corporation. Being a law clerk for an in-house counsel at a group like that can't be a bad thing, can it?
