How credible is an accredited 12-month paralegal certificate in the hiring process?

[@Iacobellilaw]

It is good, but education is just the beginning. If you have a passion to learn and grow, find the right team to join and you can shape your own path as a paralegal.

[@angiedoyle9812]

Thank you so much for this video! I’m pursuing the paralegal journey this fall after 16+ years working in med-legal on the administrative side. Are you open to mentorship at all?

[@Iacobellilaw]

Congratulations on your decision to pursue a career as a paralegal. Feel free to reach out to us directly, we would be happy to have a discussion.

[@lyndajay4407]

I'm a paralegal and even though I appreciate the information she shared, I would have dressed more professional.

[@Iacobellilaw]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@recoveringparalegal]

BOO! Terrible feedback. Alyssa is clearly a rockstar. She does not have time to dress up in a monkey suit to impress people who don't know anything. She's very tired from doing all of the work of the attorney for about 3% of the pay. BOO!

Lighten up...probably shot on a casual Friday.

[@yosemite735]

@@BPD1586 So what? She looks like she is on her way to shop at Walmart. Plan ahead and dress for the occasion.

[@mazie3426]

I like her outfit & it’s one of the reasons I chose to watch the video.
