1) Do you take criticism well?
Answer Example:
"I am always open to feedback on my work. I would prefer that criticism comes with additional feedback on how to improve. If I am doing something incorrectly, I am happy to correct it but may need some additional guidance."
2) How do you manage your time?
Answer Example:
"I utilize Outlook calendar to keep my days, weeks, and months organized with the different deadlines I have coming up. Each morning, I review my calendar to help prioritize my tasks for the day. If those tasks have been assigned by a specific person, I check in with them to make sure nothing has changed (i.e. the deadline is still the same) and provide an update on my status if it is a longer-term project."
3) How would you describe your work ethic?
Answer Example:
"I am a goal-focused person who can work independently after I have my assignment. I know how to stay focused and get things done. I appreciate it when my colleagues have similar attributes."
4) What do you consider to be the most important qualities or skills that a good paralegal must possess?
Answer Example:
"I believe a paralegal must possess excellent communication and organization skills. Many times, the paralegal is the first line of communication with the client. And when clients are dealing with legal matters, there are multiple emotions that can come into play. As a paralegal, I recognize that calm, professional, and consistent communication with clients can go a long way in helping sustain the relationship. As for organization, the attorney is going to be dealing with multiple deadlines, and providing support to ensure those deadlines is absolutely critical to the business succeeding."
5) What was your most challenging assignment at your last position?
Answer Example:
"In my last position, we switched to a new legal research system about four months after I started. We had a rush issue come in with one of our clients right after the switch. The attorney needed cases pulled from the new system, but I was struggling moving so quickly because I was still learning how to operate it. Thankfully, I was able to ask a co-worker for some additional support and we were able to obtain all the needed documents in the designated time."
