Job interview

Awesome! I got a paralegal certificate, but couldn't handle the whole 'billable hours' concept. I am such a misfit! I got training to do all kinds of stuff that I just didn't fit into:

Paralegal, teacher, journalist, etc.

Genesis {33:19} He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
Romans {9:20} But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" {9:21} Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

Still it was very encouraging to get the call since it's been about 2 months of applying to places without getting any calls.

They do the looking, and call me if they find something. Cause they only get paid (by the employer, not me) if they find me something!

I mean, if thats a last resort, or if you really need help in finding a job, in getting experience for a first job, I suppose its ok. Id rather get paid as much as I can, without having the company that wants me having to pay a middle man for as long as im employed.
Kaze9999 friend Posts: 937 (11/5/02 11:24 am) Reply	Re: Job interview True on the lower pay, but I look on it as an extended interview w the company. If I like them, and they like me, then after a couple of months, I can usually get hired outright cutting out the middle man. That's how I hooked up w. my current company where I've been for 10 years now. I temped for 5 or 6 others before this one though, and was SO glad that I was not a permanent employee because they were terrible places to work!

THey found me a permanent position and the boss here only had to pay one lump sum for finding me. I was pretty excited because my pounding the streets were coming up fruitless. I have to admit though....I miss my old job in PA...but that is another story.... Just don't give up looking, you will find the right job. Christie

TCWalt Corporal Posts: 138 (11/14/02 2:19 pm) Reply	Re: Job interview What was it about "billable hours" that didn't work for you? The thought of really only spending 2 minutes (because you worked from a premade form) but you had to bill for an hour?? Or something else? I have all sorts of computer training and well...I hate anyone knowing I know anything about computers...I really don't care to fix other people's computers. I have the knowledge, I just don't have the patience.. hehehe. So I know what you mean. Christie
Kaze9999 friend Posts: 952 (11/14/02 9:23 pm) Reply	Re: Job interview The law office that I did my internship in had a set number of 'billable hours' you had to hit. So, you could be there for 8 hours, but unless you could actually bill clients for 8 hours, you weren't done. It was brutal!

TCWalt Corporal Posts: 140 (11/15/02 6:40 pm) Reply	Re: Job interview Wow, that is brutal. I have worked for numerous lawyers and law firms and have not once been instructed to have a certain number of billable hours. Either I have been keeping busy enough or....perhaps you worked for a pretty money pinching attorney. Of course it could be that I have been just that lucky?? (haha). If it was only one law firm, I wouldn't give up on the work just because of that. But sounds like you are happy where you are now anyway. =) Christie Edited by: TCWalt at: 11/15/02 6:52:36 pm
