Interview Tips

You know that scene in The West Wing, where Donna Moss, assistant to Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman, tries to draw a laugh from a tour by calling herself the "Deputy Deputy Chief of Staff"? And how it fails miserably?

The same outcomes results when you try to describe your time assisting a paralegal as being a "Para-Paralegal".

I'll be sure to not refer to myself as the law clerk's law clerk. Even though that seems to be exactly what "judicial externs" are.
