Asking “how did you become an xyz lawyer?” comes across as “I am obsequious/shallow/unprepared.” Ask instead something like “What attributes do you see as critical to success in this position?” Then listen carefully, probe further, and learn what the firm, environment, and job are really like. The employer will find you serious, capable, prepared, and intelligent–the exact attributes that employers, clients, and judges need.”
