Over the summer we have posted about training contract interview etiquette ; over at abovethelaw they have a very interesting post on screw-ups and rudeness on the part of aspiring trainees

It seems as we all expected; students aren’t perfect – contrary to what some may believe.

From ATL

Here’s a tale from a top ten school:

A 2L knocks on the door of an interview room when it’s his turn. Instead of waiting, he walks right in.

The interviewer and the student being interviewed both look up, shocked. The student says to them, "MY turn," and just stands there.

The interviewer, after getting past the initial shock, asks to have a couple of minutes to finish up the first interview. The student looks at his watch, pauses, and says, "Well… I suppose…."

That’s pretty bad. Can you top it? Feel free to share (true) stories of fall recruiting bloopers and screw-ups, in the comments.
