So tomorrow, I begin the Week One Interview process for 2Ls.

This is not a good thing, in large part because

1: I SUCK AT INTERVIEWING oh dear Lord in Heaven there is no one worse than me at the art of the interview, I am like the least extroverted person around strangers ever and even the idea of maintaining solid eye contact for twenty straight minutes has my stomach twisted in knots,

2: 2L interviews with BigLaw firms are agonizing. I am going to be asked a number of physically painful questions about mistakes I have made and weaknesses I have that will make normal entry-level interviews look downright quaint by comparison.

3: I have fifteen interviews in the next five days, which requires me to master the details about fifteen very different law firms in a very short time frame. I can barely even keep the names of these firms straight in my mind.

Afjklsdafmsnjskhiwoeriopqj seriously my stomach is literally on the fritz with spasms and pain. Why did I bid for these interviews, why oh why oh why oh why.

If anyone is infinitely better than me at interviewing and would like to help me out it with some tips and pointers and whatnot it would be greatly appreciated. Because right now I think my strategy is when I'm asked "Why are you interested in working with our law firm?" I will respond with a series of caveman grunts for about thirty seconds before weaseling out a "Sorry" in the hushed tone of a whisper and bolting out the door. If, that is, I stop convulsing like a seizure victim every time I think of being interviewed. That would be a nice start.
