STEP 2: Job Profile

The name of this company is USAA, and I am looking to be hired as an intern - attorney -

college hire program. The job description and purpose of this job is to compile legal

documentation; under direction may provide input on matters of routine complexity. The job

duties are as listed, obtains general knowledge regarding relevant business, industry, and area of

legal specialty, observes and may contribute to a variety of routine to moderately complex legal

assignments, conducts legal research, and assists attorneys in providing legal services, and

observes and provides input on routine negotiations, drafting, and document creation. I do not

see any salary information listed in the advertisement, but after doing some research I have found

that this type of job usually pays anywhere from nothing to fifty dollars an hour. This job is

usually sought after for experience in the field so that they can get into a law school or get hired

after they graduate law school, so the amount of pay one would get is very unpredictable. This

job requires the applicant to be pursuing a Juris Doctorate from an accredited law school, to have

knowledge of Microsoft Office tools, the ability to participate in a full-time (40 hours a week)

summer internship, and that the applicant is expected to graduate law school in August of 2015

or later. I meet the second and third qualifications listed, which are knowledge of Microsoft

office tools and the time requirements listed. Also the applicant preferably needs to be in their

second year of law school and be in the top twenty five percent of their class. In reference to

Page 5: Robinson_3301_L8-A1-Final_Portfolio

these preferred requirements I meet neither. The qualifications that I lack all hinge on being in

law school, which in time I will meet this requirement. One of the preferred requirements of

being in the top twenty five percent of my law school class will definitely be a challenge, but one

that I will work towards. This job is not one that I will be pursuing in the immediate future or

even right after I graduate with a bachelors degree. Instead this job, I believe, is a reoccurring

summer internship position that I could apply for in a year or two so it is completely relevant to

my career aspirations. The career outlook for this job is decent because there is a ten percent

increase in job availability which is average. Research says that there are more people graduating

from law school than jobs available in this career, but this is normal and most likely will not

affect an inter who is not receiving monetary compensation for time and effort spent. This job

position is located in San Antonio, Texas, which would make interning there during the summer

more difficult. The advertisement listed that the company receive awards for member service,

employee well-being and financial strength, list core values of service, loyalty, honesty, and

integrity, and also discusses that they offer one of the best benefits packages in the business.

The name of this company is Santander Consumer USA Inc., and the job title is corporate

part of our summer internship program, you will enjoy: full time paid summer internship,

executive networking, fun corporate events, corporate mentor, training and development, peer

networking, potential for fall/spring work opportunities, potential job placement after

graduation.” This advertisement does mention that the person will reason full time pay, but does

not give a number or estimate. As I stated in my last job profile, after doing some research I have

found that this type of job usually pays anywhere from nothing to fifty dollars an hour. An

internship is usually sought after for experience in the field so that the person can get into a law

school or get hired after they graduate law school, so the amount of pay one would get is very

unpredictable. The basic qualifications of this job require the applicant to be a current law

student, they must be able to commit to working at least twelve consecutive weeks during the

summer (end of May through the first week in August), and must be willing to participate in all

intern activities throughout the summer. The preferred qualifications are that the student has

prior experience in corporate law and coursework in corporate law. The qualifications that I

would be able to meet would be the time based qualifications, but all the other qualifications are

related to being in law school and having knowledge of corporate law. I will meet these

requirements by graduating with my bachelor’s degree and then going to law school. The career

outlook for this job is decent, as I mentioned in the last job profile, because there is a ten percent

increase in job availability which is average. Research says that there are more people graduating

from law school than jobs available in this career, but this is normal and most likely will not

affect an inter who is not receiving monetary compensation for time and effort spent. This job

position is located in Dallas, Texas, which is close to my home town and would make it fairly

easy to work for this company. The working conditions of this company are not listed and the

only thing that I noticed is that you would get to attend fun corporate events, also you can

presume that this job would require forty or more hours a week because there will be many

activities to attend plus it is a full time job.

Shift: First Shift

Job Posting: 08/19/2014, 10:28:58 AM

STEP 2: Job Profile

The name of this company is Bell Helicopter, and the position I am seeking is legal

intern. The job description states that Bell Helicopter is seeking students for a 2015 summer

internship interested in learning how the legal department of a multi-billion dollar helicopter

company operates. This may include attending negotiations, draft and review agreements, and

participate in internal meetings with a variety of clients, participate in many areas of practice

handled by Bell Helicopter’s legal department including: government contracts, commercial

contracts, litigation, labor & employment and intellectual property, and work with members of

management to receive assignments and make recommendations for improvements. Also it states

that this job is an entry level part time job in the legal career. There is no salary information

listed in the advertisement, and I presume that this job is just a learning experience for students

so they can put it on their resume and learn about the profession. Researching internships and the

usual pay received, I would say that the amount is unpredictable and a lot of times non-existing.

Some interns get paid a good amount if they are at a very profitable company while others get

paid a little above minimum wage, also as I have already stated, a good amount of interns do not

get paid. The qualifications and requirements include that the applicant must be a full time

Page 9: Robinson_3301_L8-A1-Final_Portfolio

student pursuing a Juris Doctorate with a minimum GPA of 2.75 and sixty credit hours earned,

and have taken technical course, be familiar with Microsoft Office suite, and have good

interpersonal and organizational skills. The qualifications that I meet depends on the meaning of

one of the requirements, if qualification of pursuing a Juris Doctorate means already in law

school with sixty hours under my belt than I do not meet the first three requirements. If this is

referring to undergraduate than I would meet all of the requirements listed. I will meet these

requirements, if it is referring to being in law school, by applying to law school, getting in, then

studying hard to make sure my GPA does not drop below the required level. The career outlook

for this job is decent, as I mentioned in the last two job profiles, because there is a ten percent

increase in job availability which is average. Research says that there are more people graduating

from law school than jobs available in this career, but this is normal and most likely will not

affect an inter who is not receiving monetary compensation for time and effort spent. But one

thing that is different about this job is that I know the company and I can say that it will still be

in business by the time I able to meet the requirements. This job position is located in Fort

Worth, Texas, which is close to my home town and would make traveling to the job location

easy enough to attend if I wanted to. The working conditions of this job are not listed, besides a

description and that it is part time.

STEP 3: Job Search Reflection

This job search has helped me become aware of how many intern job positions are

available in Texas and more specifically the Dallas area. Every job advertisement that I listed

was an intern position because that will be the next step in advancing my career. Each one of

these intern positions could help me get the experience and gather the connections necessary to

land a job as soon as I graduate law school. Out of the three intern positions that I listed, I would

first apply to the Bell Helicopter company. I would do this my submitting my resume with a

Page 10: Robinson_3301_L8-A1-Final_Portfolio

cover letter that is designed to show my organizational and interpersonal skills. My resume

shows that I have been involved in several groups that could emphasize my ability to

communicate with others. By the time that I am ready to apply for this position, it will take a few

years assuming that I have to complete two years of law school first (60 credit hours), I will have

more group involvement to put on my resume and more skills and abilities acquired to build a

better cover letter. This job is a great match for me because the company knows that it would be

an entry level job designed to give students experience, which is what I’ll need to land a great

job. Plus this company has an outstanding name and having worked for them would definitely be

a resume booster.

John A. Flygare AttorneyJones, Flygare, Brown & Wharton, P.C.1600 Civic Center Plaza, P.O. Box 2426Lubbock, Texas 79408

Dear Mr. Flygare,

I am a first year Law student at Texas Tech University an am writing to apply for an internship at your law firm. I discovered your firm by doing an internet search. Interning at your law firm would allow me to advance my skills in civil litigation and my commitment in law, and I feel that I could contribute significantly to the work of your office while sharpening the skills needed for a career in law.

As a first year law student and graduate of Texas Tech University I have acquired the skill to be able to work in teams, becoming a leader of a team that revolutionized the study abroad marketing approach which increased student traveling overseas. Also, I helped run a state wide political science poll that discovered a significant change in public opinion towards political issues facing Texas. I am a University Studies graduate, so I familiar working with complex problems and finding solutions or a new research outlook on the topic.

I have interned for a public defender in Kaufman Texas, where I assisted attorneys and got a familiarity of the profession. I have also had a few other technical jobs that instilled in me hard work, dedication, and the ability to think critically.

This position would help me acquire the skills necessary to succeed in litigation law. I have included my resume highlighting my work experience, education, and achievements. I hope to have the opportunity to come in for an interview for the internship position, and I will call within a week to set up an appointment to speak with you. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Brandon James Robinson.

(Letter of Recommendation)

To whom it may concern:

I have known Brandon Robinson for over 5 years and have found him to be a trust-

worthy, honest and ethical individual. Brandon, over the past few summers, has worked with me

on several projects and I have been very satisfied with his work ethic and work product. Over

the past few years, I have seen his work product improve significantly as he has matured with his

college studies and took on more responsibilities.

Brandon approaches projects with a systematic and strategic approach to reaching the end

result. Brandon is very articulate, timely, respectful and inquisitive during each project. These

are good qualities that are hard to find in young students/professionals today and qualities that I

think would make Brandon an excellent candidate for this job.

I would highly recommend that you accept Brandon Robinson into your program. I have

encouraged Brandon to pursue a law degree and I would encourage you to accept him into your

program. Brandon has overcome many adversities throughout his young life and has made him

stronger and would make him good candidate for your program.

Career Goals Paper

Long-Term Goals

There is one long-term career goal that I have been thinking about since I started college,

and that is becoming a partner of a law firm. This goal is easily measured and identifiable, when

I become a partner of a law firm I will know if I met my goal or not. This goal is definitely a

long-term goal because it is not possible for me to reach it in less than a year and would be very

impressive if I could even reach it in twenty years. I would consider myself a partner if I

was joint owners and business directors of the law firm. I would say that in order to meet my

goal I would liked to have become a partner by the time I was fifty, but as long as I reached it

before sixty I would still say that my goal was reached on time. But in order for me to reach this

goal I would have to first get into law school, make good enough grades to graduate law school,

and then pass the bar to officially become a lawyer in Texas. After becoming a lawyer, or during

law school, I would need to create a network of people in order to get myself a job or be able to

find a job from knowing one person willing and able to help get me hired or hire me. I would

then need to put in a lot of grunt work and slowly work my way towards becoming a partner. I

could also take a different route which involves starting a law firm with a partner. In order to do

this I would need to create a close connection with the potential partner, and also create a vast

amount social connections and a reputation, so that when I started the new law firm I would have

employees ready to work and help with the work load and customers so that I could pay rent and

other costs including paying my employees. This goal means a significant amount to me, I have

dreamed about being a lawyer my whole life. Becoming a lawyer period is a crucial step, and

being a partner of a law firm to me shows success in the field. I do not have to be fancy rich or

overtly well known, I would just like to be independent and well off. If I were not to become a

Page 17: Robinson_3301_L8-A1-Final_Portfolio

partner but still end up being successful in my own eyes, then I would be happy. Being a partner

means a lot to me, but it is not crucial enough to control my whole life.

Short-Term Goals

In order to become a partner of a law firm, I will most likely have to get hired by

someone. This entails applying for a job and getting interviewed for the job. Accordingly, a

short-term goal of mine is to become prepared for any type of interview thrown my way. I plan

on meeting this goal by reviewing the rubric that was sent to me during the mock interview

assignment. Also, I will do more research to find out what other possible questions might be

asked during an interview so I can formulate responses that a future employer will want to here.

During the mock interview I was not able to quickly think of the best answer possible to the

questions I was asked, but if I research and find the best answer to a vast amount of questions I

will know how to answer those questions adequately. Plus I will have a better chance at

answering questions that I did not specifically formulate answers to, because through this process

I will be more in touch with myself. I now know, from the little research I have already done, to

give examples for each strength and weakness that you use during the interview, and to always

answer the questions in a positive way.

Some more short term goals that I have are, finishing my law school applications and

submitting them to the law schools I would like to attend. Making all A’s in my classes by

organizing my time efficiently and give each assignment the time needed to make the best grade

possible. Research and find out how I am going to pay for law school. Find an internship before

my first year of law school and each of the following years to build work experience. Create

friends while in law school and relationships with students and employers so that when I

graduate law school I will have a job lined up. I also have a somewhat longer goal that still needs

to be accomplished before becoming a partner of a firm, and it is to pass the Bar exam by

Page 18: Robinson_3301_L8-A1-Final_Portfolio

dedicating the appropriate time each semester actually learning the material and not just

cramming for the exams.

Goals Conclusion

I selected these goals because they are essential to reaching my long-term goal of

becoming a partner of a law firm. Being able to impress and employer during the interviewing

process is very important in landing any job, especially if I wanted to land a job I really wanted.

The knowledge gained from researching and creating answers to possible interview questions

will help be able to sharpen my elevator speech and conversations at work related social

gatherings, because I will be more comfortable with my own strengths and weaknesses and other

personal information that an individual does not think about on a day to day basis. The other

goals that I listed are all essential to reaching my long term goal, especially passing the bar

exam. I will improve my skills and experiences to reach this goal by research, hard work, and

dedication. Each one of these goals will take time to reach, and the only way I can reach them is

by constantly thinking about them and pursuing them every day.

This class has helped me in so many ways and introduced me to the very first short-term

goal that I listed. Before this class I have never prepared for an interview and definitely did not

know how to. This class has given me the opportunity to learn and be introduced to ways I can

sharpen my skills that will land me my dream job. Also, it has helped me create and perfect

documents like my resume that are crucial to getting any job and especially more competitive

jobs like the ones I will be pursuing. My long-term goal of becoming a partner of a law firm,

although not impossible, would have been basically out of reach if I never took this class; it has

opened my mind up to the skills necessary to get a job and most importantly that the skills

needed can definitely be sharpened and perfected.
