1. Tell us more about your role & responsibilities at your college?
I keep in mind that my personal values and interests can and will change as I get older. Now that I have transitioned into college, I'll have new responsibilities. Research has shown that students who get involved in career-planning activities stay in college longer, graduate on time, improve their academic performance, and tend to be more goal-focused and motivated. Overall these students have a more satisfying and fulfilling college experience. This is why an important first step in college is examining your personal identity and values. By examining my values first, I begin the process of defining your educational goals and ultimately planning my career.
2. How did you rise up to your biggest challenges and learnings from what you do?
Career is the most important investment in one’s life. Experts show you how to nurture it and realize my potential. First, of all, I want to say that teachers can help improve test scores and student behavior by incorporating physical activity breaks into their daily classroom routines. Okay, that's my way to rise up my position. How can a student aspire the same? Here I tell you students look to teachers for approval and positive reinforcement, and are more likely to be enthusiastic about learning if they feel their work is recognized and valued. I should encourage open communication and free thinking with my students to make them feel important. Be enthusiastic. Praise my students often. Recognize them for their contributions. If my classroom is a friendly place where students feel heard and respected, they will be more eager to learn. A “good job” or “nice work” can go a long way.
3.what have been some of your biggest challenges and learnings from what you do?
This is a tough question because you’re forced to talk about a difficult time with a complete stranger. Fortunately, it’s also a great opportunity to turn a big challenge into a great accomplishment. In fact, we like to think of it as a related question to “Tell me about an accomplishment you’re proud of.” Why do employers ask this question? It’s because they want to know that they’re hiring someone who has the ability to think on their feet and who is resilient when facing challenges. First, articulate to my interviewer the situation I was in so that they have context. What was the problem and how did it come up? In one or two sentences, create a clear picture so that the hiring manager is able to visualize the challenge. If possible, keep things professional by focusing only on problems that have come up in class. Once I'm done setting the scene, explain the actions involved in overcoming the challenge.
4. What did you in your current role that makes you feel really proud of yourself?
Yes, I am a law student or a new lawyer and I'd definitely like to be able to participate and ask questions on this call! In fact, I've already learned a few things just by reading this email that they didn't bother to teach us in law school. I am proud to say I could be a much better lawyer. If only I spent more of my time practicing law and less of my time unlocking the enormous potential stored up in most small law firms.
5. What's your message to encourage students to do internships and attend conferences?
We all know that practical experience is the best, and internships give students the hands-on experience they need. I feel that quality internships are essential to developing key skills that you can't get in a classroom. Skills such as multitasking, communicating, learning to deal with diversity, and dealing with deadlines are different when you are working for someone else, not yourself like you do in college. Internships are also a great way to network with people in the industry.
