One of the best ways to find paralegal employment is to network. Very often the best jobs are announced at monthly paralegal group meetings before they are advertised to the general public.

Do some research on the paralegal organizations in your local area Houston or Sugar Land, TX. How many did you find? If you are able, give someone in the organization a call and interview him or her or just peruse their website.

• Does the local affiliate have monthly meetings?
• Does the local affiliate have student membership or any other services for paralegal students (such as mentors)?
• Do you think it”s important to join such an organization?
• How can joining aid you in finding a job and help you once you are working in the field?
