At a recent paralegal career fair, Sara was dismayed to learn the pool of employers included a mousy gal, a few portly state employees and a pompous wench from some corporation. The fair was held in a conference room on campus, and although all 50 program participants were required to attend, seating was available for 40. Having arrived in time to receive one of the coveted seats, Sara did feel somewhat elated. This was short-lived, as she soon realized none of the employers actually had any interest in hiring anyone, now or in the immediate future. Sara noted they did seem to have a strong interest in talking about themselves and how great the school's paralegal program is.
"After their little speeches, I did the round of obligatory greetings, received some rather limp handshakes and decided to get out of dodge," Sara stated.
"I was on my way out the 'career fair,' and I noticed a rather elaborate spread of cheese and crackers. Suddenly, the career fair wasn't looking so bad. There was pepperjack, colby, sharp cheddar and get this, goat cheese! When have you ever been offered goat cheese as part of a cheese tray?"
Sara ended up leaving the fair with an offer from a law firm willing to pay her solely in wheels of cheese.
Will you be accepting the postion of paralegal for cheese?
