Round 2

I had my second set of interviews this morning, this time with 5 different attorneys. I think it went pretty well. I think I gave the answers they wanted to hear--and they were the truth.

I haven't heard anything back from the recruiter yet, but I really didn't expect to today. I imagine that they will want to compare notes among the people I interviewed with before making a decision.

But . . . when I was sending out my follow-up emails, the most senior partner with whom I met today (but not the one I would be working under) immediately responded (before I even had my other emails drafted!) and said that he hoped that I heard something positive soon and that I would be a good addition to the firm!!!

He seemed to be the one grilling me the hardest this morning--although he was very nice, as was everyone else--so I was thrilled to receive such a positive response from him.

S0--do I respond to this response???

Also, one of the associates that I met with is from my hometown and said there were a few others there from our hometown. And he also knows someone in my current firm and has heard some of the stories.

I am very impressed with this firm. I will definitely take the job if offered. Still trying not to get my hopes up, but it is getting harder not to be optimistic. Fortunately, I have out-of-town depos for the next two days which will keep my mind occupied (and me out of the office!)

I would respond to his response, especially since he's a big partner and he has something so positive to say to you. Something quick, maybe just that you hope to hear something positive soon too!

That's great that it's going so well, it's a tough market to be moving around in- I'm so glad for you!
