I graduated last month with a paralegal degree. I moved back to the small town I’m originally from, and have not found any jobs at all, not even related ones. I’ve been looking in the local papers, job sites, talking to the few contacts I have. Do you think going to various law firms with resumes would help, or does that sound too desperate? I am desperate to get a job - I’ve even applied to jobs in the city where I went to school, an hour away, but the drive would be too much and I don’t want to live there again. What can I do? I’d even settle for a dinky sales job at this point, but I don’t think they want me because of my schooling. I have some sales experience, and I interned with a state agency for awhile in public relations in my undergrad (my undergrad is in communications, and I have the paralegal certificate). Should I focus on the legal jobs, going to visit firms? I sent out resumes to firms in town letting them know of my graduation, but got no responses.
