Question 3

+2 marksOne correct option

Scenario I —Interview
[entering the room] Shrinidhi: Hello, Mr. Gunawardene. Hope you are well!
Boss: Hello, Ms. Shrinidhi, I’m well, thank you —please take a seat. How are you doing today? I hope you didn’t have any trouble getting to the right location.
[sitting down] Shrinidhi: I’m doing great, thank you so much! Getting here was quite easy for me —the instructions sent by the HR were very helpful.
Boss: I’m glad to hear that. Well, let’s get started then. Would you like to tell me about yourself? Shrinidhi: Sure. I graduated last year with a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Wellesley College, where I took to the specific field of human rights and international law quite quickly, and then pursued a research internship at the International Justice Organisation. Since graduation, I’ve been working as a fellow at ThinkAsia, a human rights organisation based out of Singapore. I’ve been looking to get involved in international law for a long-term role after my fellowship is done in four months, which is why I am looking to find work in a legal firm such as yours.
Boss: Great. We are a legal firm —quite different from the NGOs and human rights organisations you have worked with. Then why our firm? What about our firm interests you?
Shrinidhi: I’m interested in the legal work you do for conflict-ridden areas in the Asia-Pacific, especially South Asia. Although I have a human rights background, I want to gain a firm grounding in the legal aspects of human rights, which I hope to do at your organisation. Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
