Least Expensive Path to Landing Your First Paralegal Job
There’s more than one way to enter the paralegal job market and it certainly doesn’t
require that you always have a two to four year degree in paralegal studies!
So, in lieu of a degree or previous law office experience, what skills would a hiring attorney consider valuable?
Customer service
General Office experience
Software knowledge (i.e., Microsoft Word, basic Excel & Powerpoint)
Strong English spelling & grammar
One of the most powerful methods for getting the perverbial “foot in the door” is to gain legal knowledge on your own?
But how do you accomplish that if you’ve never worked in a law firm?
The solution is to be mentored by an experienced paralegal before you ever apply for the job. One class, giving you the necessary legal knowledge, could mean the difference between success and failure, the difference between moving ahead or total stagnation.
It’s your choice!
