I agree with you, I only have it because a lot of interesting paralegal positions are advertised on LinkedIn. But lately, I see a lot of people posting personal stories or other BS that really drive me insane. Delete it guys!- S87

I am really sorry that this happened to you. I am someone who needs reasonable adjustments too so I understand how hard it was to make this kind of request. Try to stay calm, get the necessary information and when you get the VS keep in mind this experience!- S87

Yes and No. I would rather meet the GR and trainees in person and make my own personal decisions. Believe me when I tell you that I met and worked with highly recommended firms and I would rather have lunch with Donald Trump.- S87
