Retarded interview question

[nickg1532]

i agree w/ Noah,

i'm (fortunately) all done w/ OCI/callbacks and had a ton of interviews over the last month or so. i wasn't asked any dumb questions like this. ALL of the interviews were very conversational and relaxed, with the same questions over and over. if you can a) explain why you like the firm, b)explain why you like the city, c) be prepared to talk a bit about some of the stuff on your resume(including why you chose the schools you went to, how you enjoyed past activities, etc.), and d) have some intelligent questions ready, you'll be fine in 99% of interviews, so long as you're not a douche.

that's not to say that these things don't get asked. but i think they are rare enough that it would be a huge waste of time to try and prepare answers for these. someone who asks stupid questions like this is probably going to ask something you never thought about anyways.
