14. 律师助理


CONVERSATION 会话
（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: 讲讲你自己和你的背景，我们开始面试吧。
A: 过去的十个月，我一直在一家法律专 业代理处做律师专职助理。我的工作就
是在劳动法领域为法律事务代理人提供帮助，这样我就可以应用所 学到的律师助
理方面的知识于工作中。我具有获取信息并能把它们转变成可用事实的能力，这
一 点受到了人们的称赞，而且我喜欢调查和分析事实。我大学时的专业是英语，
所以写作技能是我的专业特 长。我希望找一份能发挥我调查和写作技能的工作。
I: 你认为作为一名律师助理，取得成功的关键品质是什么？
A: 在这类工作中，灵活性当然排第一位。 我的前一份工作就是帮助四位律师，
他们经常会在同一天或者同一个星期各自给我同样重要的工作去做。 有时候，我
必须把我的工作分出优先级，以便把每一份工作都做好。我会和他们每一个人商
量一 下工作的紧要程度，这样我就不会误事。同时我使他们每个人都确信在我的
日程当中他（她）的工作是重 要的。我认为第二重要的品质就是沟通能力。每次
我和他们讨论问题时，这一点都很有帮助。我把我的处 境说给他们听，听取他们
的意见。
I: 你能给我举一个你必须加班而且超出你的工作范围的例子吗？
A: 曾经有一个非常重要的项目必须在 周末之前调查清楚并完成。尽管我每晚加
班都快两周了，有两个晚上我和老板还是工作到凌晨两点，直到 完成。在一个项
目上付出很大努力并能得到这么好的结果，是很值得的。对我的额外工作，老板
嘉奖了我。
I: 讲讲你某一次为了调查一个案例，遇到了许多困难，但你必须克服这些困难
的经历。
A: 我 记得有一个案例遇到了很多障碍。我首先要做的就是调查清楚所有文档以
及过去类似情形的案例，我将所 有证据都收集起来，放在一起，等着

九歌·湘君 屈原 朗诵：路英

君不行兮夷犹，蹇谁留兮中洲。
美要眇兮宜修，沛吾乘兮桂舟。
令沅湘兮无波，使江水兮安流。
望夫君兮未来，吹参差兮谁思。
驾飞龙兮北征，邅吾道兮洞庭。
薜荔柏兮蕙绸，荪桡兮兰旌。
望涔阳兮极浦，横大江兮扬灵。
扬灵兮未极，女婵媛兮为余太息。
横流涕兮潺湲，隐思君兮陫侧。
桂棹兮兰枻，斫冰兮积雪。
采薜荔兮水中，搴芙蓉兮木末。
心不同兮媒劳，恩不甚兮轻绝。
石濑兮浅浅，飞龙兮翩翩。
交不忠兮怨长，期不信兮告余以不闲。
朝骋骛兮江皋，夕弭节兮北渚。她含着笑，切着冰屑悉索的萝卜，
她含着笑，用手掏着猪吃的麦糟，
她含着笑，扇着炖肉的炉子的火，
她含着笑，背了团箕到广场上去
晒好那些大豆和小麦，
大堰河，为了生活，
在她流尽了她的乳液之后，
她就用抱过我的两臂，劳动了。
大堰河，深爱着她的乳儿；
在年节里，为了他，忙着切那冬米的糖，
为了他，常悄悄地走到村边的她的家里去，
为了他，走到她的身边叫一声“妈”，
大堰河，把他画的大红大绿的关云长
贴在灶边的墙上，
大堰河，会对她的邻居夸口赞美她的乳儿；
大堰河曾做了一个不能对人说的梦：
在梦里，她吃着她的乳儿的婚酒，
坐在辉煌的结彩的堂上，
而她的娇美的媳妇亲切的叫她“婆婆”
…………
大堰河，深爱她的乳儿！
大堰河，在她的梦没有做醒的时候已死了。
她死时，乳儿不在她的旁侧，
她死时，平时打骂她的丈夫也为她流泪，
五个儿子，个个哭得很悲，
她死时，轻轻地呼着她的乳儿的名字，
大堰河，已死了，
她死时，乳儿不在她的旁侧。
大堰河，含泪的去了！
同着四十几年的人世生活的凌侮，
同着数不尽的奴隶的凄苦，
同着四块钱的棺材和几束稻草，
同着几尺长方的埋棺材的土地，
同着一手把的纸钱的灰，
大堰河，她含泪的去了。
这是大堰河所不知道的：
她的醉酒的丈夫已死去，
大儿做了土匪，
第二个死在炮火的烟里，
第三，第四，第五
而我，我是在写着给予这不公道的世界的咒语。
当我经了长长的飘泊回到故土时，
在山腰里，田野上，
兄弟们碰见时，是比六七年
鸟次兮屋上，水周兮堂下。
捐余玦兮江中，遗余佩兮澧浦。
采芳洲兮杜若，将以遗兮下女。
时不可兮再得，聊逍遥兮容与。
