1. Dress
Boys can wear a suit and tie. If you don't have it or really don't want to wear it, you can wear some stable clothes, but you must not wear sportswear and sneakers. In addition, don’t dye your hair, don’t keep your hair too long, and don’t have too trendy hairstyles. A law firm is a relatively serious workplace, and lawyers feel it is serious and solemn, so you might as well refrain from doing things that are too personal. Once you have a foothold, it's not too late to show off your personality.
It is better for girls to wear simple plain clothes, but it is not necessary to wear formal clothes or it is best not to wear formal clothes. Just put on a little makeup or no makeup. The hairstyle is casual, just don’t be too trendy. Don’t wear too much jewelry. Low-key and restrained jewelry is most suitable.
2. Research.
The National Judicial Examination is a qualification examination organized by the state for engaging in specific legal professions. Newly appointed judges, prosecutors and lawyers must pass the national judicial examination. The predecessor of the National Judicial Examination was the Bar Qualification Examination. Since 2002, two internal professional qualification examinations, the prosecutor examination and the judge examination, have been added, collectively known as the National Unified Judicial Examination.
The main contents of the examination include: theoretical law, applied law, current legal regulations, legal practice and legal professional ethics. The National Judicial Examination adopts unified nationwide propositions and marking, and the results are announced by the National Judicial Examination Office of the Ministry of Justice of the People's Republic of China. National Judicial Examination results are valid once. Those who pass the national judicial examination will be issued a legal professional qualification certificate by the Ministry of Justice.
3. Academic background
Many people worry that they are not full-time undergraduates, nor have they graduated from a key university, and may even be discriminated against because they break the law. If you are really worried about your academic qualifications, you should strengthen it in other areas, such as highlighting your advantages in sources of information, legal knowledge, writing style, eloquence, thinking, etc. , and use your strengths to supplement your weaknesses, such as highlighting your strengths in your resume and cover letter.
Also, more grinding is required. Most law firms’ educational requirements and restrictions are not ironclad. Some successful lawyers have poor academic qualifications and poor backgrounds, but they still have to believe in themselves. Know your shortcomings and show your strengths.
Of course, don’t be blindly confident if the school is good. There are many law firms such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and even famous overseas universities. If you want to occupy a place in their hearts, you must prepare carefully.
4. Written skills
In addition to eloquence, good lawyers also have very high requirements for writing. There are often many candidates who talk about how to get to the point in their four answers on the test paper, but the low score is probably due to poor writing skills.
You will most likely face a written test when interviewing at a law firm. Regardless of the law firm that issued the test paper, most law firms will ask the interviewer to write an article on a certain issue, or simply ask the interviewer to write a legal document. I personally recommend that you familiarize yourself with the format of some simple litigation documents and your own writing experience before the interview. Even if the content is not well written, at least it will be different in form according to the gourd painting format.
Another problem is typos. A job seeker’s typos during a written interview can be fatal.
There are also logic issues. Writing must be logical, which is a basic requirement for all lawyers' written materials. It would be nice if they could be divided into one, two, three, four and five. The other thing is to be as concise as possible, using one word instead of two. Simple and clear articles are always a pleasure to read.
5. Eloquence
In short, be concise. There are many questions to answer during the interview. Remember, just answer the question, don’t add too much. Some job seekers always like to express their opinions by answering questions. This is completely unnecessary and risky.
In addition, if you really don’t know or can’t answer, then use those universal formulas and tell the interviewer that you really don’t know, but you will try your best to know the answer in future work. Don't pretend to understand. Answer truthfully to gain a reputation for being honest and calm. Pretending to understand if you don't understand will only make others feel impetuous and useless.
6. English
For most job seekers, English is useless. Just have a CET-4 or CET-6 certificate. However, there is one type of law firm that has very high English requirements for job hunting, and that is foreign-related law firms.
Don’t think that foreign-related law firms are law firms that deal with international investment and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. In fact, many small firms deal with foreign affairs. For example, law firms that mainly deal with maritime affairs, and ABCD, which exchanges emails from bills of lading to packing lists, still have English requirements. If you want to engage in this kind of business, you must watch American TV series several times before the interview.
7. Resume and cover letter
Regarding the resume and cover letter, remember to be concise and to the point, and be sure to reflect your understanding and understanding of the institute in the cover letter. your plan. Only if you write something seriously can you impress people and get an interview opportunity among the vast army of job seekers.
