Interview is a conversation where questions are asked and answers are given. In common
parlance, the word “interview” refers to a one on one conversation between an interviewer and
an interviewee. Interviews usually take place face-to-face and in person, although modern
communications technologies such as the Internet have enabled conversations to happen in
which parties are separated geographically, such as with videoconferencing software,
and telephone interviews can happen without visual contact.

The reason why we chose the topic

We chose the topic of job interviews about lawyers because we first had a law school
background, then in our opinion there were some very in-depth things in an interview about
lawyers. One of which addresses the issue of overtime where lawyers basically do not have
regular work schedule, so it is important to know the interviewees' opinions about it. So we hope
that after we graduate from Merdeka University, we can find out thoroughly how to handle an
interview in the legal world.
