Hi Shazzy love the content❤️ I wanted to ask did you find it hard to get a job as a paralegal?

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

Thank you Noluthando ♥️ For me I wouldn’t describe it as difficult, but when I initially started to volunteer I made sure to put my best foot forward and my then employer appreciated it and gave me the position 😄 I can do a story time if you would like 😊

[@Thandoo_x]

@@legaltalkwithshazzy yes please do it would be a pleasure to about your experience and tips that you can give.

[@legaltalkwithshazzy]

@@Thandoo_x I’ll definitely put it down on my content planner 🙏🏽

@@Thandoo_x also with legal assistant or paralegal, you do not necessarily need to be well versed with the law . 90% of the time you learn on the job. So find any entry job in customer service and administration . Law firms value your ability to communicate , multi task and how tech savvy you are . Or how easily you adapt to in-house bespoke systems. So if you are struggling for a legal job , get any job that will help develop those skills first then apply for a legal entry position 🙏
