Why is it so hard to get a job as a Paralegal?
I have taken some paralegal courses from the local university and I have my bachelor’s degree, but I cannot seem to get hired on doing what I want to do. Most places say they want several years experience, but how are you supposed to get any experience if no one will hire you? Any advice from paralegals out there would be appreciated.

Ok, I was in the same boat as you are. Try sending your resumes to every law firm out there (including the city – depending on where you live) in hopes of finding one law firm that is looking for a paralegal or secretary. This is what I did, and the law office that called me back, was a friend of the person that I sent the resume too. I worked there for 8months to gain some experience (as a secretary/ paralegal), and after 6 months of experience, I began to send my resumes out again. It took 8 months, but I was able to find a job with a law office in the city as a paralegal. I would advise you to look on Craigslist.com (they always have job openings). Good Luck
