BIGLAW associate, interviewing a hipster on Wed. How to PWN?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:09 AM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret it's making me angry just reading this douche's resume. He uses the terminology "football aficionado." who the hell writes like that? also expresses an "avid" interest in post-structural philosophy. dude has also chosen his entire coursework to appeal to what he thinks will look good to a law firm (corporations, business assocations, etc.). there's nothing real there.
is an appropriate interview question, "so tell me, why should i want to have a beer with you?" and see how hipster or real he makes it.

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:11 AM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret good call.
alternatively, i could ask him whether he has any opinions of the NPR "This American Life" story "the 20th Century Man" and if he seems excited/knowledgeable about it, AUTODING him.
i'll somehow work into the interview a palpable excitement about my upcoming vacation to rural georgia and see if he's able to appreciate it or if he glazes over or looks disgusted. |

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:16 AM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret uh, that's the point. conduct the entire interview as a mainstream "salt of the earth" guy and see if the interviewee is able to maintain his composure for a full 30 minutes or starts to squirm.

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:14 AM Author: Drunken ratface space i, too, have an avid interest in post-structural philosophy. he does sound like a tool though. real hipsters don't do law. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1414175&forum_id=2#15962778) |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:20 AM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret it's cool when girls are thinkers and dreamers. i don't afford the same luxury to guys, because for them it's a source of beta self-aggrandizement instead of legitimate interest. it certainly doesn't fit this profession.
i'm especially interested to see if he'll be able to interact with clients who will rarely be as "sophisticated" as this. so i'm going to revert to my mainstream prole personality (i was born and raised that way) and see if he cracks. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:22 AM Author: Drunken ratface space kewl. i would never list that as my interest on my resume though. that's just so toolish and pseudo-intellectual.
edit: oh yeah, yeah you should do that. |

|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:17 AM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret American football. I happen to be a football "aficionado" myself so i'll see how far his love of the game goes. He only listed his hometown team, so I'll determine whether he's a true fan of the game or just a convenient bandwagon fan.

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:29 AM Author: Cracking garrison That's a homo thing to write, but at least he wasn't talking about soccer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1414175&forum_id=2#15962875) |

Date: September 4th, 2010 11:36 AM Author: Cyan bisexual box office queen of the night Ask about pro bono work.
Then when you ding, reply that either:
If he's overboard:
a) his outlook on pro bono work was unrealistic and inconsistent with the firm's vision and could prevent him from reaching billable hours goals. It showed unrealistic time management skills, most importantly.
If he's less zealous or answers rationally:
b) his outlook on pro bono work, which promoted minimal involvement was inconsistent with the firm's high level of dedication to the community and belied poor time management skills. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:48 AM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret my particular office for whatever reason LOVES pro bono, so this wouldn't be a good move.
however, i think i can totally PWN him on the "ability to interact with clients and attract business" category. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 2:25 PM Author: Curious underhanded shrine turdskin You can pwn him on literally anything. This thread is weird. If you want to ding him make general comments about him seeing less than committed to the region and not being knowledgeable about the firm.

Date: September 4th, 2010 2:50 PM Author: Grizzly Histrionic Senate Regret i had to confirm whether or not i would be available to do the interview. it was easy enough to click on the PDF.
the only reason i did this is because i'll be BILLING a total of like 16 hours today and tomorrow. otherwise you'd better believe i wouldn't be on the computer. |
