Jobs, jobs, jobs

You know, this could just turn into a job board if I'm not careful. Ironically, Ivy Tech has supposedly amassed all the jobs data for the state, and publishes it on its website. (Yeah, don't ask me where. I just see these things at faculty meetings.) Anyway, they have come up with a statistic of something like 100 job openings per year, statewide, for paralegals.

My fellow chairs and I have complained that the statement is misleadingly small. Ivy Tech gets its statistics from totaling the want ads on job placement sites; paralegals are generally sought via word of mouth.

But no one listens to us. Except you. Bless you.

Your reward? Yet another job opening. They're backing up, people. Start recruiting your literate friends and neighbors. Throw a "Law & Order" party and hand out brochures to everyone who shows up. Whatever.

Back to the job opening. A law firm in Lafayette is looking for a runner. This is not a paralegal position, but is a good way to meet lawyers and make a good impression while you're in school. (The making a good impression part is really key, here. Your networking success is only as good as your social skills.) Anyway, the firm is looking for someone full-time, but in a world in which all is negotiable (don't I always tell you that?), I asked whether they would consider breaking the job into 2 part-time jobs, and they said they would.

Interested? Let me know!

Wilkommen!

It appears that France is still on summer vacation, but their neighbors to the north, Germany, are weighing in. Greetings! Here are this past week's stats:

United States	23
Germany	15

Russia	1

France, where have you gone?

I haven't published these statistics in a bit, so maybe France was feeling disheartened for not getting a shout-out. But here's a breakdown of which countries people have logged in from over the past week. Why do so many Russians find this blog interesting?

Russia	44
Brazil	41
United States	25
South Korea	6

ANOTHER Great (Full-time) Job Opportunity

Okay, this is a position at a bank, and not, strictly speaking, a paralegal sort of job. But it does involve working with trusts and legal documents.

More importantly? The bank SPECIFICALLY asked for someone from here with a paralegal degree because we (collectively) were recommended by a local attorney!!!! You guys just keep making me proud!

The salary range is $14.91 - 19.88 per hour to start. It tops out at $24.85 hourly. I believe it is being posted on HireIvy, but also feel free to contact me if you are interested.
