I applied online. I interviewed at Hennepin County Public Defender
Interview
Interviewed with four attorneys including the state public defender. They asked a series of multi-part questions about my personality and sensibilities. They would repeat the question if need be and rephrase (some other agencies do not do this). They did not ask any client-based hypotheticals as most other offices have done.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell us about a time you made a mistake, how you reacted, how others reacted, and what you did or learned from it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Hennepin County Public Defender (Minneapolis, MN) in Apr 2022
Interview
Was on Teams with a few managers. It was good and to the point. They seemed interested in ensuring teamwork and ability to work on your own. Abilities to go the extra mile like working more than 40 hours would be important.
