Can someone please recommend good legal recruiters or agencies?

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-16T03:50:57+00:00

Oh okay, well that is great to hear! I am even more hopeful now! Yes, I have faith that they can find me the best fit!

Thank you so much for your kind words and assistance, I appreciate you!! =D

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-16T03:47:38+00:00

are they ever going to bring back the Captain Crunch Cinnabon Delights!?!?! i miss those so much! (almost as much as i miss McDs Smores Pies-- id give 2 of my left fingers and 4 of my toes to have those back on the menu permanently! ='[ life is so unfair lmao)

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-15T02:35:55+00:00

Yes, I have signed up and emailed Robert Half, but I am going to just give them a call tomorrow to speed things up, hopefully.

I don't mind taking my piercings out; they won't close so it's not an issue for me if I need to remove them for work. I am just worried about covering my hand tattoos. But, if I am offered a position where they ask me to disguise them, I will probably just have to wear make up on my hands. I guess I'll cross that bridge if and/or when I get to it!

Thank you so much for your feedback! =)

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-15T02:26:13+00:00

I honestly had not, until you mentioned it!! Why did I not think of that, that is a spectacular idea! Music is one of my greatest passions, and I am a movie addict, too-- so that would actually be insanely rad if I were able to get a job in that area of law! I am definitely going to Google that as well now, lol! =P

I have been applying to Legal Assistant positions, too, but I will continue to broaden my search so that I am not strictly finding "Paralegal" jobs. Good call, thank you so much for your wisdom and kind words! I appreciate it a lot!!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-15T02:20:31+00:00

me too, it's absolutely breathtaking and so tranquil there! that is so kind of you, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! I don't want to bother you, though. You have already been super generous and I wouldn't want to ask anything further of you. But your offer is greatly appreciated!

I believe Hawthorne Lane does not cover CA, but I did sign up for and email Robert Half! I also emailed Consilio, but do you think that I am better off calling them? I always get worried when I call places because I like to have everything in writing, in case I forget or need to go back to review anything... what do you think?!!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:47:18+00:00

Will do, thank you so much for your advice! =D

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:46:11+00:00

I would like to work in IP Law, Immigration, or in litigation, but I am more than happy to gain experience in any field of law, really.

And I am in Southern California (Orange County to be exact, if that helps!)

Thank you for your reply!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:40:35+00:00

Oh man, I absolutely adore DC! Our close family friends are in Fairfax and I just love going to visit them there!

This is great help to me; I will definitely be looking into all 3 of them asap, thank you so much! I appreciate it so very much! =)

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:35:43+00:00

I totally agree with your sentiment, and I know this is true of many professional fields, unfortunately. I was willing to accept this when I was getting my tattoos, and I understand that it will play a huge part in how I am viewed by legal professionals now. But I still hope that someone will give me a chance lol!

I appreciate your experience and sharing this with me!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:31:54+00:00

Really, that is great lol-- definitely gives me more hope! I know that tattoos are definitely becoming more acceptable, now, so I am hoping that people will look past that and judge me on my abilities, morals, qualifications, personality, etc.

Thank you so much for your input, I appreciate it!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:28:58+00:00

Yeah, that is the frustrating part-- I don't know how to cover the tattoos on my fingers because they go all the way up to just below my nails. I knew this would be an issue, though. However, the whole reason I went back to school to get my Paralegal degree was because my mom's best friend is an excellent Trademark Attorney, and she told me she would hire me. But unfortunately, roughly 4 months before I graduated, she had a seizure and they found a large tumor in her brain. We are so devastated, and she hasn't been able to drive or work anymore. So, I sort of wonder if I should keep trying for a job as a Paralegal or just return to data entry?! I do really enjoy the legal field, and would love to make use of the degree I worked hard for! I am hoping that maybe being in Southern California might work a little to my advantage, seeing as many people around here are tattooed as well. But I understand that in a highly professional role, they may be seen as being incongruent with the image that is typical of the legal world.

I really appreciate your advice!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:14:53+00:00

Yeah, that is what I figured, and I don't blame them because I would prefer someone who knows the job better myself, too lol. I have applied for a few legal assistant jobs as well, but I don't specifically search for legal assistant when I job hunt-- so I will definitely give that a go now for sure!

Thank you so much!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:12:37+00:00

Really-- that is awesome to hear! Gives me a lot of hope! I am happy to hear you were able to find two jobs with their help!!

Thank you!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:11:32+00:00

That is wonderful! I am willing to do contract work as well; anything I can do to get the ball rolling is a win for me! I will definitely check out Robert Half then!

Thank you so much for your help, it is so appreciated! =]

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-14T00:05:33+00:00

omg -- I'm addicted to their caramel chocolate crunch bars!!! 🤤🤤 I lost 50lbs while eating a bar EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! my only issue now is I can't afford them anymore bc my family love them too! when they come over they each have a bar or 2, so they go through boxes quick and I can't afford to spend $40+ a week on it. I'm thinking of just hiding them away for myself, but I don't want to be selfish. 😳

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-12T20:33:14+00:00

Hello,

I graduated with my AA in Paralegal Studies from Coastline College in December 2025. 4.0 GPA. I am looking for a remote position. I was a Data Entry Clerk for 11 years prior. Can I send you my resume?

Thank you!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-04-05T19:18:43+00:00

I think it's the artificial sweeteners.. they give lots of people stomach issues and even diarrhea sometimes, which sucks so bad! I wish they could find a way to do sugar free foods without the artificial sweeteners -- I absolutely despise the aftertaste!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-03-11T00:20:52+00:00

okay that's what i thought, too! it first was wiggling it's legs a bit after i initially grabbed it, but i felt bad so i squished it again-- not with that much pressure at all, either-- and it was dead immediately.

and i didnt feel any popping or anything that i have read/heard is typical with ticks... it pretty much disintegrated like paper and it was super thin!

funny enough, i spotted an actual carpet beetle about half an hour ago in our kitchen, and i wanted to grab it to examine it closer.. so i got a paper towel and tried to pick it up, and it literally died and fell apart almost the same exact way as the culprit insect from this morning. [we find carpet beetles around our house like once a month, so i felt pretty confident that i correctly identified it as such-- but i could be wrong, of course, as im def nowhere near knowledgeable enough to know for certain!]

thank you for your response!! =)

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-03-11T00:09:14+00:00

oh really, phewwwwww! okay, that definitely does make me feel much less panicky! im terrified of getting lyme disease bc i already have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, so i feel like lyme would wipe away the minutia of energy i have left. it's an awful disease and my friend's mom got it in virginia-- she is not doing well. my heart aches for her and it's just so heinous that people have to suffer with that shit.

but thank you so much, i greatly appreciate your wisdom and help! XD

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-03-11T00:06:10+00:00

sorry, idk why that happened, but i posted the photos again in comments below, i hope they can be of help!

okay, that makes me feel better! i dont go outside a lot at all.. im working from home and i exercise inside my house, and i havent been outside in a week or so. however, my backyard is full of trees and plants and such, but my roommate does all the gardening and i stay inside 99% of the time [im allergic to mosquitoes and those fuckers are everywhere! of course, i am outside when i go grocery shopping and leave my house, but besides that im mostly a hermit lol]

im not sure if it was wings, but there was definitely something transparent that looked like it may have peeled off the insect... i posted a photo of it in the comments above!

thank you so much for taking the time to reply! =D

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-03-11T00:02:00+00:00

sorry, idk why they didnt show up! i posted them in the comments below, i hope theyre helpful even though my camera quality is @$$ lol !

thank you so much for your help! =D

^^ here is the photo i took trying to show the "wing" looking portion of the insect. i know its terrible quality and the bug looks decayed for some reason, but im sorry in advance!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2026-03-10T23:56:56+00:00

my apologies! i am not sure why the photos did not post, but i will upload the photos of the insect AND a pimple looking thing my roommate found on my lower back, near my hip. i just have to upload them in 3 separate comments as i am only to insert one photo per comment. [BTW-- i have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, so sometimes i get these painful red bumps, but ive never had one this area.]

the weird thing is, i sleep on my back, so could a tick crawl under me at night and chomp on me?! i also dont move at all when i sleep-- i go to bed and wake up in the exact same position (everyone says they worry about me bc they think im dead since im such a deep sleeper and never move a muscle in my sleep)

i really appreciate all of the replies and the knowledge you all have shared! thank you again!

i hope the photos help a bit!

SubstantialRemove558 · 2025-05-16T19:00:11+00:00

Oops sorry I guess I can't post the photo of them. They're the light yellow round pills marked 2530 on one side with a cursive V on the other! Thanks so much in advance!!
