In this solo episode of the Paralegals on Fire! Podcast Show Ann Pearson discusses the results from the paralegal survey Paralegal Boot Camp ran a few months ago, where we asked some questions that were a little different than most paralegal surveys.
We asked paralegals to participate in giving us insight into paralegal job satisfaction. We wanted to know if they were happy doing what they do, and if not, why not, and what their employer can do to improve. The results are in and we’re here to give you actionable strategies to promote change and improve your experience in the workplace.
