    At least among the 74 readers who kindly answered the survey. There
    are all kinds of reasons to look for a new job, including career
    advancement, better pay and benefits, a more amenable working

    Parish Paralegal Supervisor Loses Job
    This is an update to my January 23, 2010 post, "Parish Paralegal

    How to Describe a Paralegal
    Philadelphia paralegal Mary L. Creekmore has written an excellent
    article for Law.com, entitled "Top Essential Skills and Assets for

    embarking on a paralegal career. It takes a special person to meet the
    demands of a paralegal career, and Creekmore describes some of the
    traits that person must have to succeed in detail, including: The
    ability to set priorities and multi-task The ability to anticipate

    Small Town Paralegal Student Has Big Dreams
    Walking past a guitar and having envisions of performing on stage
    started out as a dream for one 14-year-old girl. As most teen parents
    would assume, Amelia Conway's parents thought that she was just going
    through a phase and did not take her seriously when she asked for a
    guitar. "I saved $50 of my own money for a couple of months and bought
    that guitar," Conway said. "It was one of those small First Act
    acoustic learning guitars." Determined to follow her dream of playing
