So I started the job application process to try and get started on my paralegal career. 

I'm not going to lie. I haven't applied for jobs since 2015 and I'm trying to break into a new field. It's really hard not to think about the three years I spent trying (and failing) to break into the museum field when I got my master's degree. In 2015 I finally got real and started working a retail job I've been in since, save for the lost COVID year.

Going on the advice I've been given, I'm trying to look at legal assistant/administration jobs as well as file clerking. I'm also thinking about volunteering with the legal aid society for my state if I can't find anything in a couple of weeks.

I've been saying to myself that every Wednesday (which had been a class day) will be spent advancing my employment goals. I did stick to that today, starting up an Indeed profile and sending my resumes in to two different places. I've also sent off my resume to one of my professors to get a reference letter.

So yeah, if you're a lawyer or you're a paralegal, I'm totally open to advice!
