I graduated last year with a degree in political science and communication. I currently working at a software company where I onboard vendors unto our EDI system. I am looking to work in the legal field because that is where my passion lies. I have had a couple of experiences in a Legal setting, but nothing close to a full time role. Most of the legal assistant roles require you to have experience, but I can’t get the experience if I’m not given the opportunity. How do I pivot into a legal role?

About to post a job w/ HC software co (~550 employees).

Goal would be to give this person an opportunity to grow into more senior roles as knowledge of pop health increases. Thoughts / suggestions appreciated.

Looking for input on how to handle a direct leader that is hot &cold. 1 yr ago my leader promoted me & has indicated she wants to mentor me to take her role when she retires (director). However, her behavior towards me changes from week to week, sometimes she is very supportive and encouraging then she switches to making critical or harsh indirect comments that are not about the results of my work but imply she would do it differently. How would you handle approaching this with your superior?
