A certain 4-year, private university in Bergen County NJ apparently brings in extra revenue by running a certificate (rather than degree granting) program in Paralegal Studies. At face value, that makes very good business sense and I imagine the allure of having a diploma from a private university that grants undergraduate and graduate degrees at its campuses in Morris and Bergen County sounds fairly reasonable and not too ridiculous (those who have been in north Jersey awhile know who I mean)!
Unfortunately, this school seems to have forgotten that they have an obligation to strongly support the job search efforts of their grads! This does not mean handing out a 5 year old list of employment agencies or printing a statewide directory of law firms off the web. It means contacting potential employers to ascertain whether or not they might need some entry level staffers for their office.
No matter where you live, it is important to remember that your school is expected to feed job leads and contacts to you. Absolutely, YOU must go get the job offer but your school needs to reinforce your efforts!! Good luck!
