V.E. / Student of Paralegal Inner Circle Class

"Hi, Leslie! I am working on completing your course and the experience at 86% completion has been amazing! Amazing! I am learning so much even. While taking your course, I managed to earn certificates for paralegal and eDiscovery through an online program sponsored by my local university. I see that my online courses were quite limited. Severely limited. It was like I was given only bricks to make a house. I only learned how to create documents, not the practical, day-to-day life of a paralegal that your course provided.Your course gave me the cement! Your course was certainly worth MORE than the fee charged. I had NO idea what to expect when I paid for the course. It is well worth more than I paid! Your videos were highly engaging and I took copious notes and downloaded the documents to my computer. I plan to print copies of these documents and make myself a notebook. You also helped me craft a more effective cover letter and resume. You’re the best!"

Steph / Student of Cover Letter Secrets Class

"Hi Leslie I finally got a job!! I applied with a cover letter and received an email immediately after sending it, and I received a call two days later. The attorney specifically told me he was VERY impressed with my cover letter and resume. He set up an interview for two days after he spoke with me and I met with him and was offered the job at $25 an hour which is excellent whether is part-time or not… I think it’s excellent for an entry level position. It is with a personal injury firm. I can not tell you how much I appreciate all I’ve been taught by you…"

Paralegal Mistake #2: Neglecting Your Continuing Education

Once you land your first legal job (and no…school is not necessary to enter this career!), the temptation may be to place future education on the back burner.

BEFORE you apply for a paralegal position, be sure to check out my class:

Paralegal Inner Circle Class (Get on the Wait List!)

But the truth is, you’re just getting started. It’s important to focus on your current position, however, AFTER two to three months on the job it will be time to think about what webinars or seminars you might attend to add to your legal knowledge, such as:

National Business Institute Seminars (Paralegals)

Do not neglect the above steps!

Also, explore online what books and resources are available that might be beneficial to your career specialty. Here are a few of my favorites:

Legal Break-In Book

Legal Terminology Pamphlet (Quick Study)

Workers Compensation Practice for Paralegals

Introduction to Paralegalism (Williams Statsky – 2016)

Keep track of every new skill learned and add them to your resume!
