Hello. I am a Trust and Estates paralegal. I’ve been trying to get a job in this particular area of law but each job requires extensive experience in corporate. I was told verbatim by a recruiter that I shouldn’t even bother switching into corporate law. What can I do in my current role and outside work to improve skill set to stand out a bit more ?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Thanks in advance!

Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?
