I graduate with a degree in Criminal Justice in June. I’m going back for my second degree in paralegal studies and was wondering how to find an internship with a law firm? I’ve been searching for paralegal jobs and they all require experience but no internships available.

I always recommend finding lawyers at a law firm you're interested in on LinkedIn and messaging them personally. This will set you apart.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
