Help! How can I start my career as a paralegal professional with no previous experience? I only have a bachelor’s in Paralegal studies but no solid experience. I do have administrative and clerical experience. Can anyone give advice?

1. Continue Clerking
2. Apply to paralegal roles
3. Study for lsat
4. Go to law school

I would take some courses or certifications to fluff up your resume. I would also start looking into finding a job. Google what a paralegal can do and look for those roles in different companies, and always focus on your ultimate goal and work towards it!

I started out as a receptionist at a law firm and did that while I worked toward my paralegal certification. It took a couple of years, but I worked my way up and now I'm doing what I love. You may need to take a similar path to get your foot in the door.

I just recently graduated from paralegal studies too. I don't have any experience at all. I tried my luck and applied as a paralegal assistant. I received help from someone I meet during a convention. She was on the same group as I was in LinkedIn.

I am really concerned with the current recruiting system, specifically with “target schools”. I vividly disagree with this concept. I, myself, attended a good university but many of my friends have attended lowered ranked schools. Lower ranked school doesn’t mean lower talent. Some people don’t have the resources to get into top schools but they are still talented and worthy of consideration. Where one goes to school doesn’t say much about individual and future professional!
