Good morning/afternoon,
I am a LLB and LLM graduate with top grades, four years of experience as a Legal Advisor (Pro-Bono) and unpaid research assistant for a lawyer. I am trying to find a job as Paralegal ( I am currently working in Compliance) and after months of applications .. I am losing hope.

I am sure I am doing something wrong so any advice is welcomed. If anyone wants to have a look at my CV even better! Thank you in advance ;)

I was interviewed for a perticular customer, which went well and also received an offer. Few days before of my joining date, i came to know that the technology stack from customer got changed and customer had no requirement for which i was hired. However parent company still hired me and now they're in process of allocating me in some other clients. Sometimes i feel insecure about this situation. How to cope up with such cases?

Just started in-house and my days are full of meetings with little time in between to analyze or process anything. Is this typical? I keep taking lots of notes but haven’t had a chance to really review and reflect on my notes, to follow up and investigate or do any strategic or legal analysis. Lots of on the fly work for now. Maybe it’s like this just the first few days where I’m getting the lay of the land? But I suspect it’ll be like this for a while… Any tips appreciated.
