Second question.

Why do you want to be a paralegal with our organization?

Overall competitors now, of course, is loads of companies and organizations that you could become a paralegal with.

So why have you chosen their their organization?

So that's basically assesses what research you've carried out on what was particularly attracted you to them.

So here's my suggested answer.

There are obviously many organizations I could apply in order to become a paralegal, however, is important to me that I work for an organization who sets very high standards, has a strong reputation within the legal profession, and also where I can learn and develop from some of the best lawyers and attorneys who work within the industry.

Now, the more time I spent researching your organization, the more attractive you became from the consistently positive news stories you showcase on your website through to the innovative approach you apply whilst working with your clients.

Your organization is the only one I want to work for as a paralegal, so that shows that you have done your research.

You've looked into them and you thought carefully about why you have chosen their organization.

Let's look at another paralegal interview question to help you.

We assume you've read the job description.

What are the main responsibilities and duties of a paralegal?

So this assesses whether you've actually looked into the role and you know what you'll be required to do because a lot of people who go for jobs, especially of this nature, they assume they know what's required within the road.

And you could say, Well, they wouldn't know.

However, it's very, very important that you read the job description, cause if you go along to an interview and you haven't read it and they ask you and you don't cover all of the aspects, then how could How do you know?

100% you can perform the role to the necessary standards.

So here's my answer to this question.

The role of a paralegal is extremely varied and challenging.

You need to prepare all legal documents and affidavits for use by lawyers and attorneys, keep accurate records and documents, meet with clients and other important individuals to discuss the progression of legal cases and also help prepare for trial by organizing relevant articles, exhibits and other appropriate documents.

Now you also need to prepare and call upon witnesses to testify.

Hearings on also gather statutes, codes, data and supporting statements in order to support the legal team.

So the work they carry out is to a consistently high standard and also in line with the code of conduct set by you, the law firm.

In addition to these important tasks and duties, you also need to ensure you keep your own professional development up to date and ensure you read all relevant documents and articles to make sure you carry out your duties to the highest standards possible.

So another strong answer on what we're doing here.

We're building up a very strong professional profile for you.

There's an individual who they will want to employ.

Now I've got two more questions to go through, so please do stick around.

Question.

Here we go.

He's a paralegal.

How would you deal with a difficult client now?

You are going to come across some difficult people whilst working as a paralegal.

Okay, it's inevitable.

They're gonna be not in the greatest state of mind at times, and you need to have effective interpersonal skills and communication skills to deal with it.

So here's my suggested answer for you.

Above all, I would ensure I followed the organization's code of conduct on my training while stealing with all clients.

Now, first and foremost, I would always ensure I carried out my duties to the highest standards or would act in a professional manner of all times.

Now I would also always consider carefully or communication both verbally and in writing to make sure I didn't put even myself or the organization at risk.

Now, while stealing with a difficult client.

I would maintain a resilient and consistent approach to my communication what's also providing excellent service throughout?

I believe it would also be important to determine the standards and expectations very early on while stealing with a client, as these would give me a reference point to come back to if the client became challenging or difficult during the handling of their case.

Honesty, professionalism and integrity would be at the core of everything I do whilst working with your clients, and I can be relied upon to provide outstanding service at all times, so that shows that you're thinking carefully about delivery clients.

I think it's very important to talk about that reference points as well, because you are setting the standards early on and the expectations and the terms of service in the code of conduct.

You can always refer back to that at any point, but at the same time you are focused on delivering exceptional customer service.

Next question accuracy is a vital aspect of being a paralegal.

Describe a time when you demonstrated attention to detail at work, so it's not the kind of role where you can make lots of mistakes.

Attention to detail will be assessed.

So here's my suggested answer to this question.

In a previous roller was undertaken on administrative tasks for a senior manager, he asked me to carry out a time sensitive task whereby I needed to go back over old company archives and data to collect specific items of information from previous client records.

Now I have just seven days to complete the task.

Due to the tight, tight frame, it was absolutely vital.

I carried out work carefully and accurately.

Now, in total, there were 850 client records to work through.

So I started off by working through the names in alphabetical order, gathering the relevant data as it progressed.

And they're recording it within our secure cloud based document storage facility now because I only had seven days to complete the task.

I made sure I completed 121 records each day.

And at the end of the seven day period, the task was finished on time when I was 100% certain.
