CONVERSATION 會(huì)話(huà)
（A=Applicant I=Interviewer）

I: Let抯 begin by having you tell me about yourself and your background.
A: I have been working as a paralegal for the last 10 months through an agency that specializes in the legal field. My experience has been supporting attorneys in the field of labor law, where I have been able to apply my paralegal education. I was commended on my ability to take information and break it down into usable facts. I really love research and analyzing facts. My major in college was English, and as a result, my writing skills are my major strength. I am looking for a position where my research and writing skills can be used.
I: What do you think are the key qualities needed to succeed in the paralegal profession?
A: Flexibility would certainly rank high in this type of job. In my last position, I supported four lawyers, and it was not unusual for them all to give me high-priority items to do in the same day or week. There were days when I had to stop and prioritize my work just to get a handle on everything. I would discuss the urgency of their work with each of them so I didn抰 drop the ball. At the same time, I made sure each of them felt like his or her project was important on my agenda. I think communication is probably the next key quality. It really worked well when I talked with each of them, explained my situation, and got their input.
I: Can you give me an example of a time when you had to work above and beyond your job description?
A: There was a very important project that had to be researched and completed by the end of the week. Even though I worked extra hours every night for almost two weeks, my boss and I stayed until 2 a.m. for two nights before the final wrap up. It was very rewarding to have put so much effort into a project and see the really great results. My boss gave me a bonus for my extra effort.
I: Tell me about a time when you had to research a case and encountered some obstacles you had to overcome.
A: I remember a case that was filled with obstacles. The first thing I did was research through documents and past cases that had similar circumstances. I assembled the facts and then tried to put them together and analyze the next step. I was able to get some input from another lawyer I happened to see at lunch. Through some hard work and fact digging, I was able to find a way to overcome most of the obstacles. I took my findings to my boss and made some recommendations, which she and I discussed and eventually resolved. My boss was impressed with the work I had done.
I: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
A: My strengths are my caring about getting the job done. I am very results-driven and have been able to meet all my deadlines in past jobs. As far as weaknesses, I really enjoy my work, and sometimes I put in too much time. But I am aware of my tendency to overwork and have learned to pace myself more.
I: Tell me about a time when you had a confrontation with a coworker or boss.
A: I did have an issue with someone who was getting on my nerves. I asked her if I could talk with her one day, and we had a good discussion. It turned out she was not aware of the impact of her actions and that she really needed an explanation of the procedure. I took the time to explain the procedures, and there haven抰 been any problems since that day.
I: When do you find a job satisfying?
A: My biggest satisfaction is when I experience growth in a job. When I first started as a paralegal, I had a lot to learn. But through hard work, advice from some good mentors and continuing education, I have come a long way. I抳e learned to be flexible when possible and to deal with difficult people in a positive manner.
I: How would your coworkers describe you?
A: First, they抎 say I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I really enjoy working with people. Secondly, they抎 say I had great customer service skills. I put the customer first. And thirdly, they抎 say that I know the law. I put a lot of effort into my education as a paralegal and take it seriously.
I: Do you have any questions?
A: Yes, I do. On a scale of one to 10, what would you say morale was in this company?
I: 講講你自己和你的背景，我們開(kāi)始面試吧。
A: 過(guò)去的十個(gè)月，我一直在一家法律專(zhuān)業(yè)代理處做律師專(zhuān)職助理。我的工作就是在勞動(dòng)法領(lǐng)域?yàn)榉墒聞?wù)代理人提供幫助，這樣我就可以應(yīng)用所學(xué)到的律師助理方面的知識(shí)于工作中。我具有獲取信息并能把它們轉(zhuǎn)變成可用事實(shí)的能力，這一點(diǎn)受到了人們的稱(chēng)贊，而且我喜歡調(diào)查和分析事實(shí)。我大學(xué)時(shí)的專(zhuān)業(yè)是英語(yǔ)，所以寫(xiě)作技能是我的專(zhuān)業(yè)特長(zhǎng)。我希望找一份能發(fā)揮我調(diào)查和寫(xiě)作技能的工作。
I: 你認(rèn)為作為一名律師助理，取得成功的關(guān)鍵品質(zhì)是什么？
A: 在這類(lèi)工作中，靈活性當(dāng)然排第一位。我的前一份工作就是幫助四位律師，他們經(jīng)常會(huì)在同一天或者同一個(gè)星期各自給我同樣重要的工作去做。有時(shí)候，我必須把我的工作分出優(yōu)先級(jí)，以便把每一份工作都做好。我會(huì)和他們每一個(gè)人商量一下工作的緊要程度，這樣我就不會(huì)誤事。同時(shí)我使他們每個(gè)人都確信在我的日程當(dāng)中他（她）的工作是重要的。我認(rèn)為第二重要的品質(zhì)就是溝通能力。每次我和他們討論問(wèn)題時(shí)，這一點(diǎn)都很有幫助。我把我的處境說(shuō)給他們聽(tīng)，聽(tīng)取他們的意見(jiàn)。
I: 你能給我舉一個(gè)你必須加班而且超出你的工作范圍的例子嗎？
A: 曾經(jīng)有一個(gè)非常重要的項(xiàng)目必須在周末之前調(diào)查清楚并完成。盡管我每晚加班都快兩周了，有兩個(gè)晚上我和老板還是工作到凌晨?jī)牲c(diǎn)，直到完成。在一個(gè)項(xiàng)目上付出很大努力并能得到這么好的結(jié)果，是很值得的。對(duì)我的額外工作，老板嘉獎(jiǎng)了我。
I: 講講你某一次為了調(diào)查一個(gè)案例，遇到了許多困難，但你必須克服這些困難的經(jīng)歷。
A: 我記得有一個(gè)案例遇到了很多障礙。我首先要做的就是調(diào)查清楚所有文檔以及過(guò)去類(lèi)似情形的案例，我將所有證據(jù)都收集起來(lái)，放在一起，等著下一步進(jìn)行分析。碰巧在吃午飯時(shí)我遇到另一位律師，從他那里獲得了一些信息。經(jīng)過(guò)刻苦工作和對(duì)事實(shí)依據(jù)進(jìn)行挖掘，我找到了一條能克服大部分困難的途徑。 我把我的發(fā)現(xiàn)告訴了老板，并提出了一些建議，最后經(jīng)過(guò)討論，困難都解決了。老板對(duì)我所做的工作非常滿(mǎn)意。
I: 你有哪些優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)？
A: 我的優(yōu)點(diǎn)就是一定要把工作完成。我是一個(gè)不達(dá)目的誓不罷休的人，而且在過(guò)去我總能完成我所做的工作。就我的缺點(diǎn)而言，我真的非常喜歡我的工作，有時(shí)在上面投入了太多的時(shí)間。但我已意識(shí)到了這一點(diǎn)，懂得適當(dāng)調(diào)節(jié)自己。
I: 告訴我你有沒(méi)有和同事或者老板發(fā)生過(guò)沖突？
A: 我確實(shí)和一個(gè)讓我心煩的人有過(guò)爭(zhēng)端。我問(wèn)她哪天能不能跟她談?wù)劊覀兙秃煤玫赜懻摿艘环?。但她并沒(méi)有意識(shí)到其所作所為的影響，也沒(méi)有意識(shí)到她需要?jiǎng)e人給她解釋一下工作。最后我花時(shí)間給她解釋了一下工作流程，從那以后就再也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)過(guò)什么問(wèn)題。
I: 你什么時(shí)候覺(jué)得工作令你最滿(mǎn)意？
A: 我最大的滿(mǎn)足感就是當(dāng)我體驗(yàn)工作中的成長(zhǎng)的時(shí)候。我開(kāi)始做律師助理時(shí)，有很多東西要學(xué)。但是經(jīng)過(guò)我的刻苦工作，從良師益友那里得到一些建議以及深入學(xué)習(xí)，我已經(jīng)懂得了很多。我學(xué)會(huì)了盡可能靈活些，以積極的態(tài)度和難以相處的人打交道。
I: 你的同事怎樣評(píng)價(jià)你呢？
A: 首先，他們會(huì)說(shuō)我是一個(gè)充滿(mǎn)活力和熱情的人，因?yàn)槲曳浅Ｏ矚g和人一起工作。其次，他們會(huì)說(shuō)我非常懂得客戶(hù)服務(wù)技巧。我把客戶(hù)放在第一位。第三點(diǎn)就是他們會(huì)說(shuō)我懂法律，我讀律師助理時(shí)付出了很多努力，并且我非常認(rèn)真地對(duì)待它。
I: 你有什么問(wèn)題要問(wèn)嗎？
A: 有，以十分來(lái)計(jì)，你認(rèn)為貴公司員工的士氣如何？
