Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to discuss how to make sure you're showing an "appropriate" level of interest in a job position.

In this episode we discuss:

What are employers and interviewers generally looking for in terms of an applicant's interest?
Should you spend time researching the interviewer (if you've been given a name), or focus more on the company/firm?
Tips for showing an appropriate level of interest in your cover letter, and during the networking and interviewing processes
What are some good (and bad) ways to answer the question "Why does this position interest you?"
Examples of questions to ask in an interview during question time
