I am 6 months in to my job, never had any experience before this and the firm gave me a chance. I hope they never regret it because it is honestly the best job ive ever had. The hustling of working these cases and the office vibe as well as people ive met is just awesome. I do sometimes feel lost but now im someone that new people go to ask questions which is mind blowing. Im so glad i saw your video and applied to this job, very grateful to you for showing me this path.
Icie, I really appreciate your content. This video was so encouraging. Here’s my story, I was a Legal Assistant for 8 years and I agree the first 6 months were rough because you’re learning. I recently left the company and went to a new company working as a Financial Management Specialist. The office is so toxic because of the manager. She beat me up for every mistake and it’s no training. You learn as you go. Now I am looking to go back to a firm as a Legal Assistant.
I have been a legal assistant for 10 years in DC and you are absolutely correct about everything you talked about in this video. Wishing you the best in your career growth as well as continuing to create great content.
@@LovingMommma of course!! My biggest tip would be to have confidence when you go into the interview and trust the process. Also remind yourself that if it does not work out, it was still a learning experience and there is a better opportunity out there for you. You got this and good luck! ☺️ feel free to DM me if you have any other questions on IG
Also law firms, especially in California, look for Paralegals that have a certificate. You can take schooling for this & it takes a year to complete. You get a better chance to get hired & perhaps s higher pay.
Thank you so much for this video ❤ Right now I’m very nervous because I applied to this role position as a remote legal assistant. I’m a lawyer but here in Mexico, and laws and regulations are very different in USA. This Friday I have an interview, wish me luck guys 🍀
I am starting my first training as a legal assistant with a law firm and I don't have any experience or educational background. Your tips are the most motivational video I have watched. Thank you for sharing and I look forward on watching more of your work videos. 😌
This video was so helpful! It’s the first I’ve seen of you and already I’m curled up on the sofa with my notebook binge watching your videos 😆! I am starting community college soon majoring in psychology! I am considering a paralegal career but wonder if I can still study what I love (psychology) - or if it would be a waste? PS your so pretty 🤗💕
Hi Icie, I've been watching your legal assistant vlogs and I am interested to dive in the field. I am currently studying Juris Doctor in the Philippines and I've been working as a Virtual Assistant for 2 years now but not in the Legal Industry. Please continue making content like this. Sending love from Philippines!
I'm looking into becoming a LAA, would you say that overall, the job is very repetitive/boring? That is what a lot of people I've been talking to have been warning me about.
@@kylie2800 hmm I’m not familiar with the term LAA specifically apologies but if you’re referring to a legal assistant, I would say it comes down to experience and also which department you are in because it will vary. Obviously the more proficient you get at something, there will be aspects that will be habitual/ repetitive but I think that’s common in any job over time :)
hi! I just heard of Legal Assistant; I was wondering if you needed a degree for this position! I have an associates degree from community college, and I am in the process of getting my BA In Psychology degree! I am an online student, so do I look for a internship before I graduate or after I graduate college? also is BA In PSYCHOLOGY a ok degree to get for undergraduate degree to get a job as a Legal Assistant? I am In New York, a suburb north or NYC
DEFINITELY LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU FIND YOUR ANSWER! I am starting community college soon majoring in psychology! I am considering a paralegal career but wonder if I can still study what I love - or if it would be a waste?
@@jamiemathew7869 hi ! Don’t know if you still need the answer to that question but she responded! Saying she knows plenty of people that have majored in Psychology and still pursued law! Good luck on your journey !❤️
@@tamarathomas2789 hi!! thank you for your reply!) i am not sure about AS in PSYCHOLOGY, but a degree in PARALEGAL will may be a great fit! :) just check all the requirements for that position!!!! :)
