Interview

Over the weekend I was contacted by one of the firms I applied to.  The interview was scheduled for today at 2:00 p.m.  It is small firm that specializes in Real Estate, Wills, and Estates. The reason why I applied to this specific firm is because the Lawyer is bi-lingual.  Like me, she is fluent in English and Spanish.

The interview went well.  We began the interview in English and ended it in Spanish, it was wonderful!  She asked about my experience and schooling. I told her about all the experience I had in the administrative field, and everything I had learned in school.  She was quite impressed, which is always a good thing.

The Lawyer then explained to me all the duties of the Legal Assistant at her firm, and what she looked for in a Legal Assistant.  It was as if I was sitting in class and Mrs. Bradley was giving a lecture on the Role of a Legal Assistant. Yep, all the things we have learned will be applied in the field,

Towards the end of the interview, the Lawyer confirmed that I, indeed, could do my co-op placement at her firm.  Yay!

    I know just what you mean about sitting down with the lawyer you will be doing your co-op with and having them talk about what you will be doing. It had quite the effect on me last week. I've been eating and breathing my textbook even more since then! My lawyer will be doing Real Estate, Corporate and Wills & Estates.

    Congratulations on your placement! Who is your firm?
