 I am a Sophomore student who is majoring in history, concentrating in Legal History. I am the president of a charitable club, a member of a law club, working on a genealogy AI startup, and have worked in a customer service role in a restaurant for 3 years. I completely redid my resume to make it suitable for legal assistant and legal receptionist roles, despite applying to over 50 firms and going to 10 firms to drop my resume, following up by email, I have yet to get a single interview. I am trying to work full-time over the summer and get experience in a law office. One of my family connections is allowing me to do 10 hours of legal assistant virtual work with Medical documents over the summer, but I like working long hours and need an environment with a rigid and office-like schedule. I saw some Redditors recommend a paralegal certificate, and that it can be as quick as 2 weeks, but a 68$ a month fee for several months is a bit steep for a college student when there is no certainty I get a job even with that, but I am extremely dedicated to getting a job and will do anything it takes to get one for the summer. If you have any reccomendations I would greatly appreciate it.
