1. This is an interview for my first position as a court reporter, so I have not had this experience. If I ever found myself in this position, I would indicate in my notations where I have missed something. I would respectfully ask the judge for a brief moment, or recess as I am feeling a little overwhelmed. If this is not possible, I would catch up on any of the recesses or breaks.

2. Again, there are times when people are speaking too fast. I retain and trail and when there is a pause, I catch up.

3. Once due to lack of experience at the time and was dissapointed by equipment. I filed through thw TV crew though I was doing radio. But it was not such a big mess.

4. Yes, I have and I ask the attorney to slow down.

5. I have not been in this situation because if I feel myself getting behind I am proficient in interruption.

6. At times yes, I would write a couple of key words to remind myself, continue with reporting the current events, then go back to my keywords and extend the details so that all relevant information was inputted.

7. I have plenty of down-time at home to type whenever I need to catch up so I do not worry about getting too far behind. If I find myself falling behind, I prioritize and catch up.

8. I can spend as much time as I need to catch up, I have no obligations keeping me from catching up throughout the entire night if need be.

9. Asked the people in question to slow down.

10. I have learned when it is busy with transcripts, I have to really make myself be organized and even make a timeline of due dates so that I don't get behind.
