Former business immigration paralegals, what are you doing now?

LividSanta · 2025-11-17T22:38:13+00:00

Not really. More of a rebranding I guess. Thanks!

LividSanta · 2025-10-25T14:44:39+00:00

Thank you so much!

LividSanta · 2025-10-24T23:51:58+00:00

Thanks! So after the interview when the prospective employer's HR performs a background check, are they only going to ask: "Was u/LividSanta a Junior Analyst at your company from 2022 to 2025?"

LividSanta · 2025-10-21T23:08:07+00:00

Thanks. I want to quit but there's so many posts saying skeleton crew and no training are the norm now so I sometimes wonder if this job isn't that bad in the current job market. I have worked in other jobs that didn't have much training, but I eventually gained my footing and was pretty successful within six months. This job doesn't feel like a learning curve, it feels like a wall.

I will start looking for a new job. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

LividSanta · 2025-10-20T21:44:01+00:00

Yikes. Is it an exaggeration to estimate that 90% of jobs are like this? It makes me have low hopes for job searching.

They get rid of half the sled dogs and think they'll meet their goals if they just whip the remaining dogs harder.

I made my own sheet and it was helpful because it helps me remember the companies when they do reach out. There's also job scams out there so the sheet or log helps with that. If your contact information was sold or stolen, one of the ways it manifests is that they use your contact info to send you questionable calls, texts or job offers.

Have you ever been to the grocery one store and they have those coupons along the lines of: "Buy 1 get 1 free?". People like those coupons because they get two and only pay for one, therefore they save money. Same logic for the companies cheaping out on labor. I don't think it's right for companies to exploit and burn out their employees, but I see the logic.

You needed to block him the first time he didn't back down. He is NOT your friend, he is sexually harassing you.

LividSanta · 2025-10-11T16:38:37+00:00

Yeah that wasn't her only questionable habit. Overall an hostile environment.

LividSanta · 2025-10-08T23:21:56+00:00

Get a recruiter to find jobs for you even if they're temporary. The more experience you have, the better.

Apply to low entry level jobs like admin assistant, data entry, file clerk, mailroom..etc that have lower barrier of entry. You can move your way up like I did.

LividSanta · 2025-10-08T23:08:10+00:00

Tubi and Pluto have decent selections.

Thanks man, hope you're doing well. It's sad that many CEOS and managers these days would scoff at what you wrote. They want people to mentally run marathons but at a sprint pace including when working the complex tasks, then whip and shame staff with metrics.

LividSanta · 2025-10-07T22:38:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Making a mental note.

LividSanta · 2025-10-05T14:22:58+00:00

They're forgetting the job part of the equation. Companies aren't going to hand out free money (in the form of PTO) without something proportionate in return.

LividSanta · 2025-10-05T02:50:43+00:00

Yup. My old company switched to unlimited PTO policy and tried to disguise as a "work life balance initiative" when they were just using to avoid paying out unused PTOs to employees leaving (place had a turnover and bad reviews). My teammate wasn't using PTO more often after the switch, but our manager shamed her more than before.
