In this episode of the Paralegals on Fire! Podcast Show, Ann interviews Bert Binder, a former paralegal and the founder of Paralegal Career Coach, to bring you some great advice on the impacts, trends, and career opportunities for the paralegal profession.
Show Highlights:
- Why every paralegal should write their own resume and not outsource it
- One of the often overlooked employment opportunities for entry-level paralegals
- What to do when the salary in the employment offer is too low
- Other factors to consider beyond just the paralegal salary
Your Actionable Strategy
In all of our podcast episodes, we try to give paralegals an actionable strategy that they can take away from the show because we know your time is valuable.
- Be prepared now to be able to take advantage when that opportunity opens up.
- Don’t leave your career to chance. Set career goals and make them happen, rather than hoping something comes your way.
- Listen to the podcast episode on going from receptionist to firm-wide director.
- Listen to the podcast episode about paralegal burnout if you think you are headed there.

I would like to discuss how to become a remote paralegal by contract. I will be an entry level paralegal, but I also have a bchelors degree, and Im getting a paralegal certificate soon. What are your thoughts on this? I live in Iowa where I can legally work on my own as a paralegal. Its not as strict as California.
I’m not familiar with the requirements in Iowa. I would recommend doing some research online to see what the requirements are. Check with your state bar association and your local paralegal association.
