Just a week after the start of school, Maino received a phone call.

"Hello, is it Mayino?"

"I am."

"Hello, I am Liangzheng Law Firm, tomorrow at nine o'clock, please come to Zhongda Building for an interview."

Ma Yinuo felt a little confused, but still replied decisively: "Okay, tomorrow at nine o'clock, I will be on time." ”

This olive branch came a little inexplicably, because she took the initiative to look for an internship unit. Last year, after learning that I had passed the bar exam, I enthusiastically took my resume and went to this law firm to talk about an internship. At that time, the assistant to the director of the law firm received her very warmly, and after discussing many details, she asked her to go back and wait for news. When she returned, she confidently waited for the call, but no one was looking for her, she called to inquire, and the reply was to ask her to keep waiting. And now this call to inform the interview is a year after she has almost forgotten about it. Suddenly jumped out.

Internships are particularly important for those who study law, in addition to being able to get in touch with real cases, more importantly, prospective lawyers can hang the "legal professional qualification certificate" obtained after passing the judicial examination to the law firm, and after one year can get the "legal practice qualification certificate". Of course, if you don't want to be a practicing lawyer, but choose to work in the public security system, it is not so necessary to hang a certificate.

According to the principle of supply and demand, even if the trainee lawyer has to pay hard work, some law firms charge the trainee lawyer who needs to be licensed. In Fengxia, the situation is not so severe, but law firms with license quotas are also more sought-after. It is for this reason that although Ma Yinuo has not yet decided whether to become a practicing lawyer, she is still willing to actively strive for internship opportunities in line with the idea that there are always advantages to taking another path.

Early the next morning, Ma Yinuo put on light makeup, put on the professional clothes she had specially prepared for the job hunting season, took the only bus No. 315 at the school gate, and then reversed a bus on the way, and then got off at a station closest to Zhongda Building, and walked for 20 minutes to reach the destination. She is usually used to wearing sneakers, but today she wore thin-soled high heels to stop the bus and walk the road, which made her feel that the soles of her feet were strained and her ankles were sore, and when she arrived at the room waiting for the interview, she quickly sat on the chair and slowly suffered her feet.

She was here last year, so she's no stranger. The waiting room for the interview is the office of the trainee lawyers, about ten square meters, with long tables and long chairs, densely arranged in several rows, which is very space-saving. The lobby outside, on the other hand, is open and tastefully decorated, with several transparent glass rooms in the hall, and the signage can be seen as a place for practicing lawyers to receive clients. The reason for transparency is that on the one hand, it is to appear spacious, and on the other hand, the transparent environment is conducive to reducing the possible violence of the client against the lawyer. On the innermost side of the hall are two deliberately magnificent wooden doors, with the door numbers of the director and the deputy director hanging respectively.

It's Sunday, and most of the trainee solicitors don't have offices here, and the room is full of people waiting for interviews. Next to Ma Yinuo sat a boy in a black trench coat, his hair was very short but messy, and he had not washed it for a few days. Maino felt a drop of embarrassed sweat oozing from his forehead.

After waiting for not too long, a tall girl who was not very old walked in and shouted to the list in her hand, "May I ask which one is Ma Yinuo?" Maino happily stood up and said briefly but forcefully, "I am." "Please follow me." Maino followed her to the glass room in the hall, and the girl closed the door to the room, and Maino found that the small room was very soundproof.

When the tall girl sat down and picked up her resume, Ma Yinuo saw a small metal nameplate on her chest that read "Lawyer Liu Ping", and realized that this young girl was her interviewer. "You scored 406 on the bar exam?" "Yes." "You're so good...... It's definitely no problem, go back and wait for the notice, the next round is the director's assistant to talk to you. The tall girl said as she wrote a mark on her resume.

The whole interview process took less than two minutes, and it was not an interview at all, which made Ma Yinuo cry and laugh.

Fortunately, the waiting time was very short, and only one day later, Ma Yinuo received a phone call informing her to come to the law firm at 8 o'clock the next day for the next round of interviews. After another make-up and high-heeled ride, taking the bus and walking, Ma Yinuo rushed to the law firm again.

Because it was a weekday morning, the law firm was a completely different scene from the last time, there were waiting clients at the entrance of the hall, the staff in charge of registration standing at the front desk, the middle-aged lawyers hurrying by with teacups in the hall, and the small room that was used as a waiting room last time was also full of young trainee lawyers, and the landline bell rang one after another. "What a thriving business!" Ma Yinuo couldn't help but admire in his heart. She once went to the law firm opened by Teacher Nian in the law school to deliver homework, and there was only one young lawyer on duty in the empty room, and Teacher Nian's alias in the courtyard was "Nian Million", and he was a very successful lawyer in the province. Looking at the posture of this good evidence law firm now, there must be a lot of case sources.

"The achievements and income of this director should be higher than that of Teacher Nian." Ma Yinuo was pondering in his heart, and walked in a little girl who was also a candidate, who looked like an undergraduate student who had obviously not yet entered the role of a professional person, wearing thick-soled sneakers, and seeing that she had stepped on the floor of the hall one by one obvious mud footprints, her expression was a little embarrassed. Ma Yinuo greeted her softly, chatted briefly, and learned that her name was Zhao Feifei. Zhao Feifei did not shy away from saying that she had left the school after graduating from the bachelor's degree, but she had not yet found a job, and she came to this law firm not only to intern, but to work here for a long time.

After a while, the assistant director appeared, a very capable chubby woman, looked at them with a smile, and let Ma Yinuo into a glass room first. After a brief greeting, the assistant director began to introduce the situation:

"We received 198 resumes for this recruitment, and only 6 people have been interviewed today, which shows that you are very good. We are a new law firm, which is very different from other old firms. In other firms, an old lawyer leads a trainee lawyer, and the trainee lawyer follows the case of the old lawyer, and we are dozens of trainee lawyers who grow together, and I lead the team. After you join us, answer the phone first to respond to inquiries. Our radio and television stations have advertisements, and the director also does programs on the legal channel, so there is a lot of telephone consultation every day, as long as you have contacted your party, you can let them register and consult at our front desk, even if you visit the party. According to the ranking of monthly return visits, I will reward 800 for the first place, 600 for the second place, and 500 for the third place. After exercising for a period of time, I will arrange for you to go out on the spot, and we will give legal advice on the citizen channel, and make a scene of 300, all of which will be given to you by the law firm, and it is you who will be promoted. ”

Ma Yinuo said secretly, it turns out that the legal programs I saw on TV were soft advertisements made by the law, and I used to think that the TV station would do good things to help the parties.

"We work shifts, Monday to Saturday, at 8 a.m. and leave at 4 a.m., and if we're a minute late, we do a push-up. The dress code for work is formal attire, and if you dress up to the standard today, try to stick to it in winter, after all, it is important to make an impression on the person. Now during this time we have a free community consultation on Sunday morning, and I suggest you come too, there are benefits to multi-touch point cases. ”

Ma Yinuo looked at the assistant director with a kind expression, and just nodded, but secretly surprised in his heart. The internship she was looking forward to was working with a lawyer on several complete cases, both learning skills and free time, but the assistant's definition of "new and old firm" negates this situation. Although I don't have many courses and my graduation thesis is only finished, I don't want to spend all my time on internships. Although law firms in popular cities have begun to charge internship fees, most law firms in Fengxia City still have to give trainee lawyers a monthly subsidy of about 1,000 yuan, and they are generally paid 2,000 yuan for work and substantive work.

"That's probably the case, do you have any questions for me?"

Chicken soup on the Internet and experts who analyze job search say that it is taboo to talk about salary at the beginning of the workplace, but as a lawyer, Ma Yinuo feels that since he has to pay for labor and personal freedom all day from Monday to Saturday, he must figure out what the consideration is.

"Do we have a subsidy?" Ma Yinuo used a more euphemistic "subsidy".

"At the beginning, according to the number of return visits of the parties, the top three had bonuses, and the others did not. But after one year of training, I will arrange for you to take on the case, and the law firm will give you a basic subsidy and commission. ”

"That's a year for nothing!" Ma Yinuo said in his heart. Ma Yinuo is competitive but not competitive, she does not have the irrational idea of entering the top three, her strength is solid legal knowledge, and the number of return visits of clients must stand out among dozens of trainee lawyers, in addition to desperately answering more calls and attracting more customers, she also has to be thick-skinned and lucky. Besides, the first place is only 800 yuan, which is not enough for the travel expenses and formal wear expenses I paid for this job. But she didn't show her emotions, at least she didn't think the other party could see it.

"Any other questions? Without? You passed this round of interviews. I'm going to take you to the director for one last round of interviews, and he's set aside this time slot to meet with you. The assistant director's smile was still cute, but Ma Yinuo felt a little suffocated, even a little heavy, and did not have the joy of passing the level as he imagined.

"The director's consultation fee is two thousand per hour, and his time is precious." The assistant director added, smiling with pride.

Walked to the wooden door with the name plate of "Director Wang Zhengliang", the assistant knocked on the door lightly, although the door is an indoor door, but it is also with a delicate fingerprint lock, the door "drop" automatically opened, presented in front of Ma Yinuo's eyes is a very spacious office, Director Wang Zhengliang just put down the remote control in his hand, and is sitting behind a wide desk with exquisite materials.

He smiled and made a gesture to sit down and didn't get up. Ma Yinuo walked steadily and quickly to the chair opposite the desk and sat down, staring at Wang Zhengliang's face, which was almost exactly the same as the smile on the advertisement of Liangzheng Law Firm on the bus, except that the face in front of him was a little fatter.

After Wang Zhengliang asked a few common questions similar to "where does he live", he looked directly into Ma Yinuo's eyes and asked very seriously: "What do you think about unpaid?" ”

After a momentary ideological struggle, Ma Yinuo finally decided to answer with the standard version of various job search manuals: "What I need most now is to train myself, and as for the salary, I believe that after my hard work, it will definitely pay off." "The job search guide mentions that the more you face an unsatisfactory salary, the more you must have a positive attitude.

After listening to this answer, Wang Zhengliang nodded approvingly, signed the word "agree" on the interview sheet handed over by the assistant in a very grand manner, and drew a pattern that looked like a name, and then stretched out his hand, holding Ma Yinuo's hand and solemnly said: "Welcome to join our team!" ”
