I just got an email for a position as a receptionist at a Law Firm. I responded "Thank you however I am Paralegal Registered with the Florida Bar". It is so insulting

I get offers and listings like that all the time. I agree, it is insulting and irritating. Just ignore it.

They don’t personally seek you out for those emails.

I get posts on LinkedIn (where I have a detailed profile) asking me if I'd be interested in an Attorney position. Usually I don't respond, but sometimes I'll reply:
" I am a paralegal, not an attorney. Please take the time to research your potential candidates before contacting them."
These are sent by lazy recruiters who run word searches for candidates without having any real knowledge about the position.

I get the same thing and respond "Thank you for interest however I am not a lawyer, I am a Florida Registered Paralegal". I get sooo many and I only say to myself .... AI/alithrogans a their finest. Employers are missing out on sooo many good paralegals. And the salaries the attorneys/law firms post for paralegals is soooo insulting

Are you working now as a Paralegal with the FRP designation?

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)? I’m not the decision maker, but it’s been a few weeks with very few applicants. I’m curious if there’s something hurting the firm in its search.

Any struggling paralegals here? Do you feel like your financial situation is affecting your productivity at work? I like the work I do but the pay really sucks. I feel like the fear of not being able to pay some bills on time is affecting my productivity. I’ve asked for a raise but that may not still cut it, and idk if that will go through or not.
