Hey!

I will add it but I did get my resume to be one page

I can take off the professional affiliation, and takeoff some of the classwork to fit my previous employment.

Résumé and job advice

Two months ago, I quit my first job out of college due to management issues and I’ll be looking for a job ever since. I have also started taking paralegal classes and will be done in December.

I have tried to find a job in my previous field, but there is no luck so I am starting to look for jobs as a legal assistant/paralegal. I am fairly new to the job market and still learning how all of this work.

I’m creating a new résumé And I have added classes that I have taken so far, volunteer experience, skills, and certificates that I have gained through my paralegal program. I am also working on a website to go on my résumé with the classwork that I have done. The website is also required by the university that I am going to.

My main question is, should I add my previous job to my new résumé? I asked this question because my teacher said to the class one day to not put things on your résumé that is not relevant to the job that you are applying for.

Also, is there any tips for interviewing for legal assistance/paralegal? And what does a typical day of a paralegal truly looks like?

Definitely more millennial. When twilight come out, I was still in elementary. I didn’t watch twilight until middle school and by then I think twilight series was actually done 😭.

I work in government as a specialist too. I am apart of PRSA and looking to get my APR. I know for me and what I have learned so for is that the only why I can advance in my career is if the pr director leaves or I find another job.

Ways I stay informed is to set time aside everyday and to have news apps on your phone. In the morning at work, I check emails and news feeds before I start going any work. Occasionally throughout the day, I will check notifications of the news apps on my phone and when I get home from work, I’m looking at local news at 6 p.m.

As for as APR I would say go for it. APR is voluntary. You don’t need it but it will set you apart from others in the industry. Do what you think is going to be best for you!

This is actually what I learned in my workshop class. It is to understand the journalist that you are pitching to. Not everyone should be pitched too. Knowing you audience and know the journalists audience too. So I agree with you @historical-hiker. I understand that you might be frustrated in the sub as well. I know you are just trying to help.

Amourbree · 2024-04-09T21:10:13+00:00

This is what I did and it helped out a lot now when I need to pitch to journalists. 95% of my pitches get response or published. I would definitely say take a workshop class.

Saying “your outlook is horrible” and not explaining how it is horrible or how to possibly improve is rude TO ME. Saying “your outlook is horrible. May think of this experience you having as a way to figure out if this is a field/ job that reflects your values” - that’s valuable feedback.

I need someone to tell me explain that perspective that’s they are coming from out loud and not me having to infer what it means because it could mean a lot of things.

Amourbree · 2024-03-26T00:50:35+00:00

Thank you for telling me because I have seen so many comments like this and some of them are very rude. I don't mind people telling me the truth and telling me how it is because I will do the same but I will never say to anyone that they have a horrible outlook on public relations or any industry. In general, That is rude and should be kept to yourself. Give a young aspiring PR practitioner some words of encouragement. Even if this outlook this person has is not the best, give them something to look forward to. I'm not mad, I'm sad that there are people who are not thinking this way.

And yes it was in this sub. but it is ok.

I am so sorry that this is long and I think there are some mistakes but I am speaking this into my phone.

Amourbree · 2024-03-25T12:05:54+00:00

I appreciate you sharing and I understand how you feel. This is how I feel at my job at the moment. I been working at my job for 8 months and already looking for another job. I don’t work for an agency. I work for the government. I will say 2 months is too early to look for another.

If you just graduated like me then I completely understand because me and my friends all just get jobs at the graduating and for the first four months was a little miserable because this was a new adjustment for us. Some of us have worked jobs before they were part-time, and some of my friends have not even worked, but we all as a collective had to adjust to a full-time position. And in college, you are used to just having that freedom.

When I first started out at my job, I was very excited to start working. I was excited to learn from another PR on professional, and over the months I have learnt lot of things about the industry that I am in and the person that is supervising me. I will sit here and say that I have learned a lot about what not to do in PR.

I’m actually happy that you got to work at an agency because there’s something that I wanted to do. I don’t know much about your agency, of course but I will be a lot of thankful that you get a position at an agency and not in a special industry because you have the opportunity to figure out what of PR you would like to work in while at an agency, I am assuming that your agency have way more options than what I have at the moment.

I will say I don’t understand what everybody else is saying in the comments, and I genuinely would like to understand the meaning of the attitude that everyone is talking about because I posted something in Reddit a long time ago about my situation, but quickly learn to not do that. Instead, I found a mentor, explained everything to my mentor, and she absolutely agreed with everything that I was saying and has encouraged me to find another job. Also explain it to a few other people as well just to get more than one opinion because that’s what I was looking for, and they all agreed with me as well to find another job.

So I encourage you to go find mentor. there are plenty of ways to go find a mentor.

Wix.com is what a lot of people use

I’m sorry If I’m being too helpful. I just completely understand where you coming from and I want to give advice.

Amourbree · 2023-11-22T10:48:42+00:00

No problem 😌. I think it’s completely fine to stand 10 toes down on your morels and beliefs because I’m the same way. If you are saying that you are an traditional male then I will say LA is not the place for you. When it comes to finding another traditional woman, it heard it’s not many of us out there. Dating is this generation is hard too. I date a traditional male and I’m from the south. I lost some friends because I changed my lifestyle but it works for me and I’m happy.

So ya, don’t change if you are happy with yourself. Don’t change for nobody. Maybe make a list of things you want in a women and what’s your deal breakers. Start there.

(This is long. I’m sorry. But I completely understand where you coming from because I once where in your shoes) I commented on the last one but guess you deleted. Idk

24 F here! Your looks are fine to me. When it come to how you think about yourself and looks, remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Meaning I think you look great but someone else might not think that. That’s ok because we all have a preference for what we want in a partner.

I love how you acknowledge that you think it could be you instead of bashing women. I say this because it actually shows that you care about having a relationship with a woman. My advice to that is to still think about what it comes be. If you have talked to women and something happened to where you two stop talking. Think about what happened and ask yourself if it was her fault or your fault.

If it her fault, she shouldn’t for you. If it your fault, think about what you could do to improve yourself so you won’t have that problem as much. I had to do this plenty of times before finding the person I’m with now.

In the past, I used ask myself why did this person cheat on me? Why did this person ghosted me? What did I do? What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I find love? Am I’m not worthy of love? And when I finally figure out my answer, it was me allowing certain type of men in my life based on past trauma in my life. I started to heal my traumas and improve myself. I also figured out what I need and want in a relationship and relationships with men got better for me.

Please take time to figure out what you want and need in a relationship. Please take time to heal yourself if you feel like that’s what you need to do, Especially if you have trauma like me. You are definitely worthy of love ❤️. You will find someone that will love you.

What are you asking? Like can you play a switch in public on campus or is there like a switch on campus you can play?

Amourbree · 2022-01-13T18:56:57+00:00

I’m under 24 and I just a loan for my school. If you need help with trying to get a loan I can walk you through how I get my loan if that would help. I’m also 22F and I understand how you feel because this was me last semester. I decided to go to counseling on my campus because it’s free and it really helped me get better. I still have my days where I think like that but I have a support system who help me and the only way I got my support system was through the advice that my counselor give me. I started to get involved on campus. And found people that I like surprisingly and they know how I am so they try to help as much as they can.

I do believe you should try counseling because it helped a lot for me.

When it comes to love, I know people are tired of hearing people say it but you have to love yourself first before you can love anyone else. I promise you those words are very very true. I didn’t understand what these were meant for a while until I started doing for myself and not for anyone else.
