My future job

I’ve always thought in make the living as a lawyer and along with that teaching in the University as a way to compatibilize both activities. I’d like this double work because I’m attracted to both areas: professional and academic.

To the first one because I’m actually studying to become a lawyer and it is a necessary requirement having professional experience to apply for an academic career.

I think that this option has a regular difficulty, because nowadays is always necessary to endeavor yourself in order to have a job that lets you develop all your plans, ideas, dreams, and interests. I know it’s going to be hard, but I’m sure of achieving it.

For choosing this double job I consider my preferences for the academic activity and professional development as a lawyer, probably working in criminal cases, either as a prosecutor or public attorney. In order to accomplish this, I haven’t taken any major because the undergraduate program doesn’t include it but I’ve signed up in electives of my preference: criminal law. So, in a manner of speaking I’ve made a minor in criminal law during the undergraduate period.

About weakness and strengths, last semester I went to several job interviews for work as procurator and I learned to be honest when it comes to that question. I said I was diligent, good at teamwork and persevering. And about my weak side, I recognized being perfectionist and having what I call “paralysis by analysis” sometimes.

Job interviews are a great experience, even though I couldn’t continue the process of job seeking because I had an unlucky surprise meanwhile.

It will be grateful for me to have this double work, as academic and independent lawyer so nowadays I’m putting all my energy in this aim.
