OCI, Day Three: Part Two

State Farm turned out to be my best one yet. The interviewers were two remarkably friendly women who laughed readily and seemed like the kind of people you would actually want to interact with on a daily basis. I thank the Lord for this fact, because this was my longest interview – the only one that spanned 30 minutes, not 20.

- What attracted you to State Farm?
- What did you do to prepare for the interview today?
- Our agents travel 150-200 days per year. Would that be a problem for you? (My favorite TV show is Great Hotels on the Travel Channel...)
- We preen our summer associates for future permanent positions. You seem to have a lot of ties to Milwaukee. Are you willing to relocate to Illinois? (Are you kidding?!)
- Why did you decide to go to law school? (MIAD wasn't an option...)
- What is the most rewarding part of law school?
- Why did you choose U of I as opposed to the other schools you applied to?
- Were there any particular projects you worked on over the summer that were especially rewarding?
- I see you went to Marquette for undergrad? (Regretfully, yes.)
- Are there any questions about State Farm we can answer for you?
- Is there anything else you would like us to know about you?
