When you are interrupted by a pressing matter you are able to return to your other work easily and keep track of items without needing reminders and check-ins. You know when to ask questions and take notes . When you are given a task you communicate when you need more clarity. When you are provided with instructions you take detailed notes to create standards of procedure that you can refer back to. You like talking to people and make them feel taken care of while remaining professional . You are a good read of character and know within a few minutes whether a potential client will be a good fit or is better left alone, even if their matter fits the firm’s scope. You’re comfortable executing someone else’s standards and understand how the minutia of day-to-day tasks contribute to the professionalism and overall brand of the firm . No task is below you.
