Name:<\/strong> Christina Lindberg<\/p>\n

Class Year:<\/strong> 2011<\/p>\n

Title:<\/strong> Associate<\/p>\n

Organization Name:<\/strong> Miner Siddall LLP<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

1. In one sentence, what does your job entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I represent individuals and corporations in a variety of civil and criminal matters in state and federal courts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to attend law school by my junior year. Through the SIP Program, I found a summer internship with JP Morgan\u2019s intellectual property law department. I took an LSAT prep course on campus during my senior year and consulted with my professors about my plans. At my next internship, I explored criminal law as an intern with the Committee for Public Counsel Services. To find my first position out of law school, I went through the typical on campus interview process and I was happy to secure a position as an associate at a law firm in Boston.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. How did you learn \/ decide it was a good fit for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I enjoy the variety of litigation work. I spend a substantial amount of time researching and writing motions, but I am also in court or in depositions regularly. With each new case, I learn about new industries and how the law applies to the particular facts of my case.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. What were you involved in when you were on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was involved with an SAT tutoring program and an afterschool tutoring program for younger students. I was also a staff writer for the student newspaper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an English major, I spent a lot of time reading, researching, and writing. I knew I wanted to continue that in my career through litigation work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My professors at Holy Cross always gave constructive feedback and pushed me to think outside the box. I try to use that same creative thinking every day when I\u2019m brainstorming arguments and writing a brief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. What advice do you have for students on campus today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take advantage of the strong Holy Cross alumni network. Over the years, alumni have been a great resource for me. Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re applying for a job. Reach out to alumni when you find their career path or current position interesting. A quick thirty minute chat is a great way to get to know someone and make a new connection.<\/p>\n
