You've been selected for NCBA PD's Paralegal Spotlight. Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete our Paralegal Spotlight questionnaire.

Paralegal Spotlight is a monthly blog publication designed to inspire virtual networking by showcasing randomly selected paralegal division members on the Paralegal Division blog. This is your chance to share more about your personal and professional goals, technology tips, interests, great accomplishments, volunteer work, and the like. Don’t be shy. Our paralegal members have a wonderful variety of talents, skills, and interests and we look forward to hearing from you!

In addition to completing this questionnaire, we also ask that you send a photograph to ncbaparalegals@gmail.com to include in the blog post. The photograph can be a “relaxed” photo. It does not need to be a professional headshot. Please make sure you are the only one in the photo.

Please know we have designed this questionnaire to capture information from paralegals who come from various backgrounds. Paralegal experience, education, and certifications will vary from paralegal to paralegal. Therefore, some of the questions may not apply to you. If you became a paralegal through hands-on experience and have no college degree or certifications, that is perfectly fine. If you have a college degree, but no paralegal certifications and you are still relatively new to the paralegal field, that is also fine. All paralegal contributions are important and have value. Our individual journeys inspire others. When answering the questions on the form, if a particular section does not apply to you, please type none or not applicable (n/a) as appropriate.

There are two sections to this form including a request for your general information and a "Getting to Know You" section, which asks more specific questions about your background. When you get to Section 2, you will be asked to respond to at least 5 of the 26 getting-to-know-you questions. You are welcome to respond to more questions if you like, but we request that you respond to a minimum of 5 questions. To make these posts reader-friendly, please keep your responses as conversational as possible. We'd like this to read as an interview, rather than simply responses to a questionnaire. So, please type freely and elaborate as much as you like on the questions that interest you.

Please return responses to this questionnaire within two weeks of receipt. You will also be given an estimated date for publication. You will receive a draft to review and approve. After you receive the draft form, if you do not respond within three business days, we will publish the article as-is.

Because Paralegal Spotlight is only published once each month, it may be several months before a nominee is featured. The publication spots are filled based on the order in which online interviews are completed. If you ever have a question regarding the status of Paralegal Spotlight for someone you nominated, please feel free to email the Communications Committee at ncbaparalegals@gmail.com.

Final formatting (not necessarily content) is left to the NCBA blog publisher. If you decide you do not want to participate in Paralegal Spotlight, please let us know by emailing ncbaparalegals@gmail.com. We will remove you from the mailing list. We do hope you will participate and are looking forward to hearing from you!
