Congratulations on getting a second interview! It'll definitely be nice once you receive an offer and can just relax the rest of senior year while the rest of your friends are scrambling up until (and often past) graduation.
If you haven't already, do some research on the company and try to work a few facts you learned during your research in during your interview without sounding too cheesy, (i.e., If you're asked a question like “Why [enter name of firm here]?” you could say something like “I know [firm name] has a great reputation in the community and 98% of clients report being extremely satisfied with its quality of work, and I'd love to be a part of that.”)
You'll probably be asked to discuss things like:
– Why [enter firm name here]?
– I see on your resume that you've done ______. Tell me more about that.
– Tell me about a time when ________.
At the end of your interview, you could ask questions like:
– What is the office culture like here?
– What do you like about your job?
– What is the most challenging aspect of your job?
You'll probably be interviewing with 2-3 people for 30-45 minutes each. When I had my second interview at the firm I currently work for, it was a 4-5 hour long ordeal, not counting a social event at a local bar the night before. The morning of the interview, there was about 20 of us there and we first met in the conference room with the managing partner who talked about the firm. Then we had our interviews, got an office tour, went to lunch, and returned to the office to wrap up. I think a lot of the mid to large-sized firms do something like this.
Remember to hand write thank-you notes to everyone you interview with!
