Following on from a practical perspective on reading and Employment:


The text:


  1Reading:


The university entrance exam I miss the financial report is the central finance and economics, didn't score enough to the legal system, but in the University of Finance and economics you want or graduated to banks and other financial institutions, the first two classes are high, the micro and macro economics, monetary and banking, intermediate accounting these, I also built a minor in professional accounting. I didn't think about being a lawyer, we seldom have alumni to law firms or the court. Cause now regret is the foundation of legal theory is not a good play, the exam just, never read what book. If you can again......At least not when the judicial examination to the basic legal concepts clear. The only also fortunately teaching science and constitutional this two class a teacher is excellent, he was hard to fill some good stuff, but he open the books on the list had not touched the two. When a society is too utilitarian, stir fry to do not have that several years work very in the heart, don't look down on the law course, introduction to law easily, also easy exam cram. In contrast, accounting, economics of these courses more difficult to fail, is hanging half a class.


Now the law education is facing a dilemma is also too easy enrollment majors, too much, cause the employment rate at. Have you heard the judicial examination is the most difficult test of this statement, but in fact? Pass the person all know, mainly depends on the course, many non professionals with ease. Most of the time in my undergraduate study in accounting, almost graduate examination of accounting department person, a CPA exam tutorial class, but still do not dare to take notes, andJudicial examination on prepared40Days, did not go to class, the back bar, some questions over the years it had been.


If the subjective or objective choice of law of the professional, need to have some psychological preparation to face the threshold low, employment rate is low, the lack of school education as practice, on one hand in school to study a good theoretical basis, including other professional and extensive reading; to find and accumulation of advantage on the other hand, such as the English well, or other professional double degree, at least as I can read statements, tax, can also cheat when looking for a job.


  2The textual research, postgraduate:


If I'm not old, now that the children should also like us at that time, life in the ideal setting for a couple in love, the career concern most is to research or study section, the study room in the library. Say first research, test what the cards are, the English four six levels of TOEFL and TOEIC these needless to say, our school is mainly popularCPA,CFA, the qualification of securities, some people more awesome and testACCAOr insurance actuary these. Research is the best to test, but also don't do too much, select one or two and their future development is closely related to the line, once the target will not give up halfway.


Section I have no what say, switch to the accounting department finally feel difficulty is too big, we chose the most insurance the school-based professional, to try hard to test the Peking University, Tsinghua law school classmates admire very much, but I think the price is a bit high, external hard the first year was admitted to University, crowded in around a few small cottage "family this choice I cannot imagine. In fact, the law education at graduate than undergraduate is more likely a rotten, no out of the ivory tower of the students do research in another group of little contact with the practice of teacher leadership. But for the graduate students should read also cannot lump together, without a diploma is the ability of the undergraduate period, if not ready to enter the society, also can use the buffer graduate time.


  3Abroad:


If I had known your occupation choice, I will focus on the legal basis and the English learning in undergraduate, graduate not directly to the USA readLLM. Lawyers in this industry is very practical, want to do the best lawyer as early as possible, if the home economic conditions can still will go abroad, undergraduate andLLMOnly one year after graduation from23Years old, unhurried30Head is ready to lay. But I still think is going to the four largest (CPA) or go to the bank, don't knowLLMThis thing (thought USA only extremely expensiveJDEducation), read research two, college in the cooperation project preparation and Chicago Kent, after listening to the lecture immediately decided not to waste it seems in addition to write papers not what to do research in three time, to America read a year. And then covered with confusion to pick up English (except test four six and section and not well studied) toefl,LLMThose things, such as how to apply for a good school. At that time all don't know. Now the children should be more informed, contact early, preparation time will be more abundant. But Kent from my part of the tuition fee, also know, lawyers and a number of senior students, also will not regret the choice.


If not for the strong love of a country, or choose to USA suggestions, USA states of New York, California, allowing foreigners to testBar(bar), the qualifications of foreign or foreign business after entering more domestic, are block astepping-stone to success. With Chinese test, give yourself some pressure, the rate is high.


  4Internship.


The study period in addition to read a book a ticket, you can also find a different unit internship, I very like practice in graduate school, while fresh, courts, banks, offices, foreign I go again, but I haven't been to the firm, instead some of my classmates went to the law firm internship, but later they were resolutely and lawyers road say goodbye, is about early know this occupation busy. The practice can help you a preliminary understanding of interest and the ability to adapt, understand the employment unit of different types of work. I have seen the policy-making process in a commission Regulations Department, work in the court and the court clerk, listened to the court, in the foreign legal attempt to do legal research, writing English work emails, also know where the midday nap, the five point to work on time, where must master the poker skills into groups, where lunch is provided free of charge and rich, where can't nap, work can not chat, lunch at their own expense, indifference but more occupation of. In addition, through these to glance over things hurriedly internship, also began to make the campus of different ages and backgrounds, hear some over people's feelings, today, the original practice in each unit I have had contact, good friend. On the last day of the last internship units,MySupervisor, a senior lawyer for legal and I talked about words, made many good suggestions, may be at that point, I began to want to be a lawyer.


  5Enterprise employment:


I kengchikengchi finished two master, finishedBarHe shouted at the outside2Million monthly salary to. On the eve of the ready to return, Lehman collapsed, I caught up with the America financial crisis, was on the way to find a job is learning what precious job opportunity, with two lawyer, interviewing numerous family firms, expectation value is dropping lower and lower, but when the market is bleak.


Downhearted occasion, but do not want to be is to seize the opportunity to open up overseas market hunters take (one of the five major state-owned power enterprises), but is also somewhat dense willow trees and bright flowers, leadership attention, later I heard that the Ministry of justice and the business group is small for my department distribution. Small fortunately, I did not go to the legal department management contract, for approval, but is to be arranged in an overseas branch of legal and business, it would be an overseas branch has just set up soon, a lot of market development and project negotiation work short of hands, I joined a few days and leadership with a passport to Europe a country, see such as a National Investment Commission departments and the power enterprises, the head or a paste began helping draft meeting minutes,MOU,NDA,TermSheetOf these, suffer from no one taught, branch I a law, so his self-taught or learned outside counsel, learn to sell. In the year and a half, intensive contact with a lot of project, the accumulation is a negotiation experience, I also went to many countries on business, it is quite interesting.


So as to get good out of misfortune, then firms interview, in a professional field is closely reasoned and well argued, the partners said if it is in the house a solicitor is certainly not exposed to so many practical experience. The experience of enterprise hand let me positions on legal and commercial issues between the knowledge, understanding to a project and how to include business and technical personnel of the various departments to deal with; the other party, once a party, now a lawyer can also try to figure out the meaning of customers, particularly to state-owned enterprises, there will be the boss sent me on with the project time.


  6In the employment:


The economic crisis is past, the firm began to recruit, I in the enterprise although happy, but because of the single business and the lawyers heart die, or as soon as possible to begin my career as a lawyer. Happen to beJHInfrastructure and energy group, see, I have passed, grinding of leading a month before he signed the release, many people do not understand, feel the stability of state-owned enterprises, but also so difficult, easily give up a great pity. But I still want to accept more professional training, become a lawyer occupation, although this occupation in China and is not very bright, but for me, occupation mode identification is buried in his work not nonsense, not because the internal process and procrastination efficiency, less personnel disputes, can not stop access to new knowledge, and can maintain a certain degree of freedom and creativity. I'm kind to be time soon, for about a year, but if I were younger, I would want to stay here for several years, which is a good place for the exercise of domestic law practice, JUNHE project quality is very high, some partners I from the professional to the character are extremely out of color from the bottom of my heart, I admire.


According to the stipulation, before enterprise experience not counted as working life, so from the first grade to do (lawyerJHThe implementation of nine years), it is also worth graduates attention, or that a lawyer as early as possible. Work is in the enterprise tired, grid environment is more difficult, but does not regret their choice, the lawyer occupation as consistent as I wanted. But the professional division of labor is also strong, my previous job experience based on, so has been arranged in similar projects in the course of time, also tired.

Last year I went to his current the American, we don't have much office people, I feel display space larger than before, the boss also encourageJuniorTry various fields.
