Happy Tuesday - I’m currently remotely completing a post-BA paralegal cert program at an ABA-approved school.

The school has Handshake access for networking but so far, the majority of opportunities listed do not seem relevant or legal adjacent. Beyond this, it does not seem like they assist in placement for an internship.

I am on LinkedIn and have started beefing up/curating my profile to transition away from my current role in insurance.

How are you all locating internships or entry-level roles? I would prefer it to be paid but do not mind unpaid if it is absolutely the only option (or a really solid career-building kind of experience).

Any websites, apps, programs, recruiting firms, insight/perspectives would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I am at the tail end of my paralegal program and will be applying to different firms in a few months. To all my paralegals out there, can you please give me a run down on your day to day life in the office? The type of work/duties you do and the assignments you are or have worked on? Lastly, the type of law you’re in and your thoughts about it.

I’m really want to find the right firm/law field for me. I appreciate any insight you have!

Thank you!!
