I think if everyone is honest with themselves, they’ll probably find some lapse somewhere. The important thing is not to be hard on yourself about it and make a plan to fix it. Where you feel like you are falling short, there are probably a lot of other skills you are exceptionally strong in.

I feel that way too. I am currently applying to various paralegal positions and though I have all of the raw materials ie, MA degree, finance, real estate, political, and criminal law knowledge, I see many job postings that require Relativity, e-discovery, etc. I am a whiz at legal research using Westlaw and LexisNexis, Sharepoint, Microsoft Office, Outlook, etc. but sometimes I feel behind the eight ball on my skills. I try to update as much as possible but I am feeling those lapses more and more. For the record, I have about 15 years experience. Thank you for your post, it is very reassuring that others have experienced the same thing I am. Good luck to you!
