167460

02:57
I currently live in Rose town with my family  I live with my mom dad and my two brothers
17
177840
7260
03:08
I have studied at Martha's Elementary  and high school I graduated in 2012.
18
188520
7920
03:19
when I was 17 I decided I wanted to study  law and that's why I went to college
19
199020
6900
03:29
I prepared myself for over  two years before starting  
20
209340
4500
03:33
starting the career I wanted to be prepared
21
213840
3540
03:39
during that time I also understood that  this was my passion well it is my passion
22
219840
8040
03:50
I started to read and investigate a lot about  laws and many other things related to that
23
230520
7920
04:00
then I went to college and started the law  career for five years it was difficult but great
24
240840
7980
04:11
I graduated two years ago being the best  student of my generation I'm proud of that
25
251400
7440
04:21
as you can see I'm still young but I have all  the desire to start working right now if possible
26
261780
7860
04:32
that's interesting tell me something  how did you hear about this position
27
272520
6360
04:42
oh I read that on the internet  you have a website and I usually  
28
282840
4860
04:47
check it because you give good information
29
287700
2040
04:53
then last week I was reading the Articles you  posted and I saw you were requiring a lawyer
30
293460
7740
05:04
I see it's good you check our website  regularly and why do you want to work here
31
304140
7380
05:14
as I told you before this is one of the greatest  company in the country and that's the main reason
32
314280
7260
05:24
I know I can contribute a lot to this company  and also that you can help me grow professionally
33
324660
7860
05:35
all right and why did you decide to apply  for a disposition and not another one
34
335040
7320
05:45
I have a specialized in this topic I have  taken courses and seminars read books and so on
35
345960
8220
05:56
plus one of my dreams has always been  being a civil lawyer to help people
36
356280
6660
06:06
and I know you have a big office just for  civil problems and many professional people
37
366480
6720
06:17
that's right now I want you to  tell me what your strengths are
38
377160
7080
06:28
I consider that my greatest strength is the  ability to hear people I am really good at that
39
388020
7500
06:38
and because of that I can make a  better analysis of the situation  
40
398340
4860
06:43
to take better decisions based on that
41
403200
3420
06:49
you know as lawyers our job is not only to solve  problems also do it in the best way possible
42
409320
7380
06:59
that's good and what do you consider  are your weaknesses if you have one
43
419160
6840
07:09
oh of course I do we all have weaknesses  and I am not perfect at all sir in fact
44
429480
8460
07:19
I think I have many weaknesses because  I'm learning new things every day
45
439980
6540
07:30
but I love to have them I work really  hard every day to improve myself
46
450360
7140
07:41
and professionally speaking I think one of  my weakness is the lack of experience I have
47
461400
7320
07:51
I know you are used to work with experienced  people who have five ten or more years experience
48
471600
7920
08:01
and I have graduated two years ago  that's why I consider that as a witness
49
481860
7200
08:12
but let me tell you that I can learn really  fast and if I ignore something I investigate  
50
492600
7380
08:19
a lot about it I see and talking about  your work experience have you worked before
51
499980
9600
08:33
oh of course before graduating from  college I had started working as a lawyer
52
513480
7620
08:43
or first as an intern and then as an official  practitioner I worked in Lara's company
53
523920
7740
08:54
I'm sure you know that company its office is  next to this company's office they are good to
54
534360
7500
09:04
Lara's company that's great and  how did you manage to get that job
55
544920
6600
09:15
one day they went to my college asking for  people who wanted to participate in a project
56
555240
7080
09:25
I applied to that project and  then they told me I was good  
57
565800
4260
09:30
at that and that they wanted me to work with them
58
570060
3540
09:36
so I took an exam and then went through the  regular interview and I started one day after
59
576300
7860
09:47
impressive maybe you don't have a lot  of experience at this position but
60
587040
7380
09:57
you have worked for an important company being  just a college student I'll keep that in mind
61
597600
7680
10:08
and about this position what abilities do you  manage so you can do an excellent job here
62
608220
7080
10:18
well I can speak three languages French  Chinese and Spanish I know that's important
63
618300
7860
10:28
because you have to deal  with people from different  
64
628620
2940
10:31
countries I could learn this because of my family
65
631560
3960
10:39
my mom is from France and my dad from China  they came here to settle down many years ago
66
639360
7620
10:49
and about Spanish I learned that while I was  studying at College I have an advanced level
67
649500
7800
11:00
I also work well with modern computer  programs and important documents
68
660120
6900
11:10
plus I consider myself as a good leader too I  let large groups of people when I was studying
69
670560
7740
11:20
to create important projects and also I won a  competition where I had to present a project
70
680940
7680
11:31
that's fantastic to finish how  do you see yourself in five years
71
691680
7260
11:42
to be honest I would like to create new projects  in this company projects that can help people  
72
702180
8340
11:52

78
764820
7680
12:55
