[QUOTE="TC fiend, post: 105163, member: 12349"] Just to add on from James’ excellent advice above: if they know this is your first role, they just really want to know whether you have the transferable (interpersonal) skills to tackle a lot of these tasks. For example, bundling requires organization, attention to detail and independence - they need to be confident that you can find all the necessary documents, that you’ll make sure all the spine and cover sheets are in the right format, and that you’ll be able to wrap up the bundles without them constantly needing to check over your shoulder (as these bundles will run into the thousands of pages). Other examples of transferable skills include: communication skills (contacting the court, communicating with fee earners), research skills (legal research and memos), attention to detail (bundling, doc review, billing), delegation (supporting multiple fee earners), etc. Just take a minute to ask yourself “what would this task entail, and what could go wrong with it? What do I need to do to make sure it goes right?” That’s what you need to communicate. [/QUOTE]
