Community Advocate Interview Question:

I see you like baking…what type of things do you like to bake?

As I've argued elsewhere, the most important information on your resume actually has nothing to do with law at all - it's your hobbies and interests. If well selected, these can fill a good chunk of time in an interview and allow you to make a more human connection with the interviewer. However…you have to actually do these things! I once asked a candidate what kind of cooking he enjoyed, and he looked at me blankly until I showed him the Interests section of his resume, which listed “cooking” as an interest. Turns out he didn't cook at all, which was somewhat confusing (and made me wonder who wrote his resume!).
