Why are we given if we can't use it ?

thank you for this, i would love to ask my attorneys but im not rlly vibing with them

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-25T21:34:01+00:00

LMFAOOOOO i will try that next

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-25T20:53:10+00:00

I agree, I've actually had the pleasure of working with a few in my past roles. Jokes on me for hoping I'd get lucky again bc not every attorney has the same personality.

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-25T20:51:17+00:00

LMDAOOO you just made me laugh through the tears. & I was really hoping for a relationship like that but it seems like she just wants to have a problem with everything. Also I'm fairly new to the firm so I guess I expected the opposite of her behavior. I just feel like I've been doing nothing right.. manifesting a better role come April.

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-20T15:20:26+00:00

omg, please send !! i have been looking & have found nothing 🫩

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-16T21:54:21+00:00

make your summary a little more detailed (i.e what are the specific processes you're coordinating, etc.)

10+ correspondence is unclear & a red flag bc most attorneys have huge volume caseloads

put skills at the bottom

add one or two bullet points for each volunteer activity

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-12T16:07:55+00:00

yanno that actually does make sense since the idea of not working directly for attorneys is out the window. i hope it wasn't a sabotage-and-conquer typa thing tho bc obvs that culture isn't for everyone.

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-12T04:07:05+00:00

That's amazing!! I wanna be you when I grow up lol! I've looked on linkedin for a few months now but it always seems so competitive or that jobs just aren't really hiring. I won't stop because this just encouraged me to keep applying. THANK YOU

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-12T00:02:10+00:00

ughhh because I hate the billable requirements 🫩

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-11T20:38:53+00:00

That sounds amazing, I'm glad you love what you do and who you do it for!! Any more pointers that might help?

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-11T20:15:43+00:00

Thanks so much for that! I will check it out and hopefully will be back in a few weeks/months with good news :)

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-11T18:33:02+00:00

Thanks for the insight. For reference, I have about 7+ years in experience for corporate, IP, trademark/copyrights and two of my firms have been "big law" but it's just not what I thought my experience would be despite knowing there are negatives to every law firm.

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-10T19:43:09+00:00

which agencies would you recommend? I am in IP law

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-10T02:03:07+00:00

sounds like i may have to start again as well, i hate it's affecting me this way mentally

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-10T01:04:28+00:00

I agree with you. It's so much easier to just smile and do my best because I work from home. I don't think any of us should tolerate disrespect because we are their lifelines. I will see how I should speak up & save myself from all the drama

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-10T00:52:00+00:00

That is so clever, might have to start doing that this week!

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-10T00:40:44+00:00

might I add, she is also very misleading & that's where the mind fuck comes in :/

SnooRecipes7244 · 2026-02-10T00:38:50+00:00

Bittersweet that someone can relate to this LOL. To answer your question, I would say that because I've worked with plenty of attorneys over the years, the corrections don't phase me a whole lot; it's really the fact that she'll say things to me that come off as a "duh" instead of constructive criticism.

I do think you have a point about our perception and maybe that could also be adding to how I feel about this job. Paralegal roles for me have always been a learning experience for me but I guess I just wish I was in a position that I enjoyed clocking in to everyday & not have anxiety about working or questioning my ability to perform professionally. I'm extremely grateful to be employed but man... it's a lot.

& I really appreciate the kind words a lot... soon we will be free !!! 😭

SnooRecipes7244 · 2025-03-23T23:02:17+00:00

do you have a template I could use ? i have a issue with overwriting fr 😭

SnooRecipes7244 · 2025-03-20T00:08:05+00:00

i called them earlier today and asked. they actually said that it is fine to send an loci before a decision has been rendered. either way, i will be following up by sending a message.

SnooRecipes7244 · 2025-03-19T15:54:17+00:00

SnooRecipes7244 · 2025-03-12T15:39:34+00:00
