paralegal internship seminar

Date: November 01, 2002 | 25 Shaban 1423 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: school, paralegal
Today I spent all day at a pre-internship seminar at college. One of the requirements of the paralegal program is to complete an internship (90 to 150 hours of work). The seminar today explained the process for finding and setting up an internship, and also offered career tips on cover letters, resumes, and interviews. There was a lot of really good information there. The only annoying part was that they had somebody come in to talk about the importance of conservative, formal business attire at many law firms, and somehow this session ran way long because a lot of the women present were asking for specific fashion advice.

Inshallah, I hope that I will be able to do my internship with a Muslim lawyer in the area. If I'm really lucky, it would turn into a paying job after graduation. I would be doing the internship either spring or summer quarter, so I still have plenty of time to find a Muslim lawyer who would be able to take me. Not only do I want to work for a Muslim lawyer, but this is my best chance of getting hired because hijab and jilbab, much less niqab are not "traditional business attire". Inshallah khayr.

That was an alarming seminar. Well, the bit about the clothes. Even for a non-Muslim. I think I took this seminar during winter quarter, but the clothes rant was the same. The woman said that she knew a headhunter who judged a job candidate on whether or not he/she had any scuffs on the back of his/her shoes -- even slight scuffs. Any scuffs, no job prospects. The assumption is: if the person doesn't take notice of scuffs, he/she must not take notice of anything else (like job-related task). Bogus idea.
