Hey!
I am a licensed Paralegal with almost (2) years of experience in Workers Compensation. I am also an Internationally trained lawyer and have completed my NCA equivalency exams in Ontario. I am trying to look for Paralegal roles but all I am seeing is either Legal Assistant roles or Paralegal roles where 4-5years experience is a pre-requisite. I am currently working as a Junior Paralegal and would want a similar role with opportunity to grow.
Any tips on how to navigate this situation?

Yes, but this is a super common challenge in Ontario's legal job market right now. Hope everything goes well for you😊Equinox ship industry is also currently in need of 8 remote workers. They pay upto $7k per 2 weeks, I believe they're more in search of WFH Merchant staffs, it's about keeping records of Food&Beverage sales remotely. Is anyone in for it?

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar.
