My first interview went well; routine questions designed to explore my interest in the firm asked by 2 partners and 1 hr representative.
My second interview was like being repeatedly punched in the face.
A different partner and the same hr representative wandered in 25 minutes after the scheduled appointment. Neither apologised. The partner did not introduce himself. He then proceeded to ask me a series of questions ranging from whether I was too old for the job and why I thought I was good enough to work there. He disliked my motivation for studying law, so kept asking me for a "better answer" and gave me unsolicited (and unnecessary) financial advice because he disputed that I was competent enough to do my own personal budget. He dismissed every answer I gave, told me that I wasn't worth the advertised salary, told me my motivation for working in law was wrong and said that recent graduates had no clue about what law firms were like and would amount to nothing. The HR rep sat watching the assault and discriminatory questions without intersecting once.
