The
Paralegal Institute of Washington, D.C. will provide
assistance with professional advising including resume reviews and mock interviews. Your classroom education
will be spent learning the skills and terminology needed
in order to become a successful paralegal. In addition,
PIW likes to place students in an internship position
for three weeks in a local law firm. Here you will gain
valuable experience, and will allow you to get your
foot in the door, and show your superior that you would
be a great asset to the firm. This will also bridge
the gap between the textbooks and the position, as well
as allow you to network. Remember, networking will allow
you to get your name out in the community and ultimately
help you obtain a career in today’s job market.
PIW will also have a list of local law firms who are
in need of a paralegal. Upon completion of the course,
PIW will help candidates with names of potential contacts
they will need in order to secure a job. Of course,
just as Harvard Law School cannot guarantee graduates
will find jobs, PIW cannot guarantee its students will
obtain a position. This will depend in large part on
the student's ability to grasp the legal issues presented
in the courses, as well as the student's interview and
other related skills.
On PIW’s Alumni & Student Career Forum students and alumni will find
job posting notices and information about upcoming PIW
events.
Our current placement rate for graduating students fluctuates
between 80 and 90% within 90 days of completion
of the program!
