QUESTION 27 OF 30

What hours do you expect to work as a paralegal?

Law firms do not always operate on an 8-5 basis. Clients' needs may need attention in the evenings and weekends, and the interviewer may want to know more about your flexibility to work such hours.

Answer this question honestly. You can also use this as an opportunity to clarify how they address paralegals working outside typical business hours.

"I would expect to be in the office Monday through Friday during working hours. I understand that in this field, it is sometimes necessary to work outside those hours to address client needs. Depending on the day or the time, I may not be able to be in the office outside working hours; however, if there is an arrangement to work from home, I am happy to tackle work assignments at any time."
