Introduction
to Paralegal
Studies
Chapter
2
| Chapter 2 focuses on the type of employers, wages, and job searching skills. This chapter should be read thoroughly but it is not necessary to memorize the types of employment and wage information. In this chapter the student focus should be on beginning to develop his/her job searching skills. These skills will be extremely important as the student reaches the end of the program. Most of this material will not appear in subsequent classes except perhaps in the internship class. I would highly recommend that a student complete an internship if at all possible. |
