I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Schultz & Associates (Hackensack, NJ) in Sept 2018
Interview
For a small firm they have a very intense and grueling interview process. They first ask you for a video interview which is great, especially if you are working while interviewing. Then they ask you for an in person interview. Upon arrival they make you take a handwritten assessment test which very strange questions. This test seems to be geared more towards finding out your personality than finding out whether your a good fit for the job. (Example: What would you do with a magic wand?) Then you have to take a typing test. Typing tests are typically done on a standard size keyboard but they provide you with one of those tiny Mac wireless keyboards, so best of luck typing more than 65 WPM on that. Then you get to speak to the "owner/head attorney" who is VERY nice. Really, talking to her was the most pleasant part of the process. They then send you yet another assessment test, asking you more ridiculous questions that have nothing to do with the job. Again, more personality based than knowledge of legal proceedings. Here's where it gets a bit weird though. They asked for my references which I gave them. They contacted and set up calls with at least two of my references and then cancelled the calls on the day of (super unprofessional). They rescheduled the calls for later in the week. Mid week I get an email asking for another call with me to AGAIN discuss some technical questions. I'm sorry but how much more could you possibly have to ask me? I've now taken like three assessment tests, done a video interview and a phone interview. Apparently I didn't respond to their email fast enough because I got another email telling me I'd been turned down for the job. Not really that upset. To be honest they don't offer any good benefits and the salary is low for someone coming to work from NYC. But still. Be prepared for an almost three week long interview process. Very strange way of running a business.
