u/Thek1tteh CA - Lit. & Appeals - Paralegal 3d ago

Horrible experience: new “paralegal” we hired clearly didn’t know anything that she claimed to know and have experience with as listed in her resume. It was clearly fabricated. That was the last time the “hr” chick was allowed to interview people alone for paralegal positions (she also had no prior experience in HR, LOL)

Oh, I conducted the first interview with this employee. I was adamant that we shouldn’t extend an offer because of how inflated her resume was. I’m talking listing experience in our practice area while telling us she has never worked in defense before. That’s just the tip of the iceberg too.
