CASE STUDY # 1

1. What can Monique do to become more engaged in her work?

Answer: In order for Monique to be more engaged in her work, first she will have to do a self-assessment. She will need to set her goals and expectations from the firm. I believe by identifying her goals and expectations at work will help her find motivation she need to get more engaged.

1. What can Monique do to overcome the reputation of being zombie on the job? Answer: There are several options Monique can use to overcome the reputation of being a Zombie in her job. First, she needs to be more conscious or put a lot of motivation to become more involved with her work. Having motivation will give her energy where she can show her full capabilities and focus at work. She also need to make sure all her work load and assignment are completed with enthusiasm, it is always to show that she has the abilities to go above and beyond of what are the expectation of her. It will also be helpful if Monique take time to take courses that her job might have, most jobs normally offer courses to the employees that will help them more reliable and efficient when it comes to their job performance. It is also a good idea to her supervisor about the ideas she have on mind that will help her be more efficient at work. Another options is share the company’s vision and values with your co-workers and costumer. As am employer to your company, you are the advocate for the business. Most advocate shows to people what they love about their job and what they do and all the positive things that involve about their job.
2. In what ways might Monique’s parents have contributed to her lack of commitment to paralegal work?

Answer: I believe Monique’s parents have contributed to her lack of commitment to paralegal work by pre-painting or deciding her future for her. Her mother always tell her that being a paralegal would definitely give her status and make other people think she is somebody important and then her father would always tell her as a paralegal, it would be a secure job because people will always sue each other. Once Monique become a paralegal, she realized that this job is way different from what she thought or her parents make her believe it would be. Maybe if Monique’s parents never pre-paint her future, she might have found a better job or future that she will actually enjoy and loves.
