Case Study 02 · Client life restoration
Back to a brilliant future
She was at the top of her class, graduating as a valedictorian and then quickly placed into a top legal firm in Raleigh. But then she made a personal decision that would cost her, her career. Her decision to take family time resulted in her being locked out of her career and losing permanently, her position. Fair Chance NC took on a case that Robert Half legal said was unsalvageable --trying to reposition a paralegal after a 4 year absence.
The challenge
Re-connect a top-level paralegal with an industry from which she walked-away and find a permanent placement in a top-level legal firm.
How Fair Chance helped
- Personal Empowerment
- Re-framing personal experiences & traumas into skills and opportunities
- Finding an industry insider to help mentor and personally reconnect Sharon
- Targeting a firm
- Maintaining resllience, sustenance, and providing encouragement
- Getting the job done
- Creating an alternative strategy to reposition a client professionally
The outcome
Sharon was re-positioned into a top legal firm in Raleigh subject to sourcing an "insider" attorney who vouched for Sharon and was willing to go the distance. Fair Chance assisted in all aspects of remediation including a resume that supported her position as a "Legal Assistant" from which she could then collaterally move into a paralegal position through a skills revaluation in 1 year.
