”I’ve applied for a Paralegal position & had an excellent interview last Friday. They were really impressed with my knowledge of the Federal Rules of Civil Proc. One of the attorneys was familiar with CLS & said that she believed we were coming out of it with significant knowledge over some current Paralegals. Of the 95 Resumes they recv’d I was picked to interview based on my Cover Letter & 4.0 GPA.”
