Very Informative,
By B. Evans "Relentless Reader" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Paralegal Job Hunter's Handbook: From Internships to Employment (Paperback)
I just received this book today and I am already well into chapter 4 & have skimmed several others. This book is FULL of useful information, especially for the paralegal who is still in school & unsure what area of the law they would like to work in. There are descriptions of what paralegals do in each area of the law & there is an entire chapter about alternate career paths, pertaining to work that can be done with paralegal qualifications though the job title might not necessarily read "paralegal". Also, the sample resumes, cover letters, and resignation letters are excellent! If you are a driven, aspiring paralegal... this book is definitely worth the price!
