1 hr til my first ever paid legal job interview and i'm interviewing for 2 positions/offices in the same firm.. incredibly nervous but hoping it for a positive interview experience and desperately hoping that the interviewers are friendly. I keep imagining over and over again that they are going to have an issue with my being non-binary; but i did put my pronouns on my CV so surely this is a panic over nothing. Ah. Deep breaths. I have a few other opportunities lined up if this doesn't pan out so trying not to put so much pressure on it. This might just not be the job for me and that's ok. Also all my shirts are in desperate need of ironing but I can't face doing it so I'm hoping I can get away with this striped top under a blazer since it's online and they'll only see my head and shoulders anyway?? Work/semi-formal wear when you're non-binary is a minefield sometimes...

Btw, if you really just Need A Job (tm)

I'd really recommend looking into care work

Care work here is specifically being a home care aid, a care aid or assistant at any kind of residential home.

This for usually for elderly or disabled adults - and those are the ones that tend to be most entry level, from what I've seen, but also for mental health, addiction recovery etc. (With the obvious caveat that some of these jobs will be more emotionally intense than others)

I'm so serious about this guys. I was applying to jobs in care work for just three weeks, starting a couple days before Christmas, and in that time I got three interviews, two jobs offers, and five additional interview requests

Care work needs people CONSTANTLY

because it's a huge sector but very hard for them to keep staff long-term. Partly because it can be high burn-out, and there's definitely toxic places out there you should watch out for. And partly because a lot of people think care work is beneath them

AND they ACTUALLY MEAN IT when they say they're entry level. Because it's so hard for them to get staff that a lot of them will advertise super aggressively that they will train you themselves. A lot of them will straight up pay for your CPR and First Aid certifications, once they hire you, too (and you can get a leg up on applications by getting a CPR/First Aid certification for like. $30 to $80, at least in the US). They also accept experience taking care of elderly/disabled/etc. family members as real experience

Like, obviously don't do it if you hate taking care of people, but if you're open to it, it's probably by far your best shot of getting hired rn, statistically

(eta: Genuinely disclaimer that it can be super taxing emotionally and large portions of the industry are indeed fucked, and def don't take a job in this field if you're gonna be an asshole to the people you're caring for, but sometimes you just need whatever job you can get.)

Seriously, though, the first time I applied for a care work job (in October 2023, yes short timeline, like I said there's some toxic workplaces etc. out there), I applied to like ten or fifteen jobs over the course of a week or so. Within three weeks, I was working.

(And they did provide all of the training, fwiw)

If you need a job and no one is hiring, seriously consider looking into it

[houseswife]

I love how they set taub’s biggest issue up to be the fact that he cheats on his wife. like that’s the only thing wrong with him really. and everybody dunks on him for it. meanwhile wilson has been causally dropping the fact that he’s a serial philanderer since season 1 and nobody bats an eye because there’s just so much else to unpack that it might be the most normal aspect of his personality

[whinlatter]

That brings up an interesting point. Since you seen to be a canon girlie, do you think/feel that Hermione DOES become Minister?

What do you make of Harry being Head of Magical Law Enforcement?

thank you for this question anon! i do think it's very plausible hermione becomes minister of magic. i think it's equally plausible that harry becomes head of magical law enforcement. mostly because, well:

basically: i think both characters' career trajectories are in keeping with the politics of the series as a whole - eg. the goodies are all liberal, pro-state, non-revolutionary moderates who support a gradualist reformist agenda rather than a radical re-imagining of societal organisation. i also think both career options track with who each character is in canon (or rather, who the teenage versions of these characters might become as adults). and i think most of the reasons people are disappointed by either idea, and especially by harry coming 'a cop' then rising up the ranks to run law enforcement, is because they are putting their own more radical ambitions around social justice onto characters that would be poor vehicles for them.

on hermione - i don't know how many people have huge issue with the idea of hermione as minister of magic. i imagine the complaints with this idea come from people who a) like hermione and think hermione's politics as a teenager - identifying systemic injustice and labour exploitation of a subject people - jar with the idea of her settling within a political system that upholds and enforces that structure and others like it, or b) people don't like hermione as much and who think she would be too unpopular to get elected. to the former group, i'd trot out the arguments made far better than people other than me: that hermione's support for the house elves mostly boils down to a bit of a saviour complex and 'be nicer to your slaves', which is not especially radical position, and also point out the ministry's institutional culture seems to reward high-achieving technocrats with establishment credentials (or at least, prior records of academic and professional achievement), and i could see hermione riding that train straight to the top, especially on wave of post-war reformism with diminishing anti-muggleborn prejudice. (the wizarding world also loves a good (and bad) law and is extremely vigilant in enforcing them to a fault. hermione jean granger absolutely loves a rule. it's a match-made in heaven. it is - i fear - giving keir starmer).

to the second point, as i talked a bit about here, the wizarding world does not seem to be a democracy. so hermione wouldn't even need to be especially popular to get the top job. i personally love the idea of hermione quietly parking her commitments to representative democracy to get a bit of good labour legislation passed, or even thinking about wizarding democracy in victorian terms (as long as you're representing what you think the enlightened citizenry want, you're gucci). i mean honestly, what do the masses know! ignore em, queen. they're all kind of pureblood racists anyway!

on harry: i have a feeling it's harry's trajectory that most pisses people off. and i absolutely get it! people hate cops, and harry appears to become one, after spending a lot of the series raging against how shit senior leadership at the ministry of magic tend to be. while i do see the argument that teenage harry has strong criticisms of the ministry for its officials' self-interest, corruption and lack of accountability for their many miscarriages of justice, the truth is that a) harry never really associates being an auror with representing the ministry of magic as an institution, that b) he thinks of lots of characters who work in and around the ministry of magic, including in law enforcement, as agents of good (arthur weasley, kingsley, tonks, mad-eye, amelia bones) and c) harry at no point shows himself interested in thinking about ideology, about political systems, or about a more developed worldview beyond a deep sense of right and wrong and a need for justice. i think harry would like being head of magical law enforcement much less than hermione would like being minister, and i could see him finding the job enormously frustrating both for how much politicking it likely requires and for how little field action it would require. but i don't think that means it's out of character for him to rise up the ranks in pursuit of a more effective justice system and eventually take the top job as a means to an end.

the only other thing i'll say is that i do think there is something a bit culturally specific about imagining these two characters we think of as morally good actors taking up roles within the state to try to work for what they feel to be positive reform and progressive causes. the state appears quite neutrally in the hp series: it's a tool to be picked up and used to affect political change. this reflects its author's worldview, the political moment in which it was written (eg. under blair's new labour), and a longstanding dimension of real-life centre-left social democratic british politics usually expressed, at various times and to varying extents, by the political programme of the labour party throughout its history (to say nothing of a wider european context). it's not an inherently problematic political worldview (it is a core social democratic and socialist principle; it is also my own view of the state...), though ofc it can become so in the wrong hands. for instance, it's a consistent through-line in jkr's political evolution and a staple of her practically single-issue dangerous anti-trans politics even now - terf politics is a lot about wielding the state to remove legal protections from trans people, stop them from accessing health care etc. but the idea of the big state and of laws and government as a positive interventionist tool does colour hp as a text in lots of ways and is reflected in the worldview of many of its characters with which the reader is supposed to side. and i don't think we should overlook that.

conversely, hp is also a series devoid of political movements, and certainly of a meaningful far-left ideology or political sphere. and that's important to remember too if we're interested in canon coherence: hp is a liberal text in that it seemed plausible for its author to vacate a great deal of politics from her world-building. and i think that is, regretfully, worth remembering when we're claiming hermione should have been a trade union agitator or harry should have been an acab abolitionist organiser or whatever.

recently every time i read an Aldis Hodge interview and he's geeking out like 'i got married!!!!! i have a kid!!!!! i'm going to be in [insert title of next coolest project here]!!!!!' my thought process is just 1. congratulations, ofc you're geeking out (as you should) and 2. do you need a third

One of those little memory things popped up for me on the book of faces today.

I’m marrying my wife this weekend.

Nine years ago, same-gender marriage was made legal in all 59 states.

JUST nine years ago. I wouldn’t have been able to marry my wife in some states. Hell, nine years ago my wife would have had a harder time changing her name and gender markers in our state.

I think that a lot of people younger than me. Don’t realize that nine years is not a long time.

a pretty major aspect of wolf 359's worldbuilding that i think about sometimes is that goddard futuristics is the megacorporation, like. jacobi says, "goddard's done some good stuff", citing the development of solar energy and investments in water purification, eco-friendly fertilizers, global internet access, etc. and... i mean, yes. obviously, objectively, all good things that i wish we also had. but also all goddard-owned and beholden to their interests. that line is in response to eiffel saying "yeah, i'm sure the team retreats where you got to burn down the rainforest were amazing" - like, it's about efficiency, not environmentalism; the good parts are a byproduct.

the same thing applies to the inaccessibility of goddard's other developments - AI development is so under wraps that even maxwell, working for the "best" AI research lab in the country, was unaware of the existence of "full-minded" AI until she was recruited by goddard. and part of why she was recruited was her disagreement with the board for ethical AI development. goddard has made some incredible advancements in the field of biotech, but like... do you think those things are accessible to the average person? these life-saving medical developments and disability aids exist, but who actually gets them? cutter is financially blackmailing eiffel by paying for anne's medical bills, education, etc. - his control over all of these things gives him potential leverage over just about anyone.

and then you have just, like, the fact that goddard is involved in so many things - space exploration, air travel, utilities, the military, medicine, agriculture, probably just everyday goods... it's bad enough in real life if you're trying to avoid a few major corporations; there are going to be so many things in their day-to-day lives that they never even realized were goddard-made until they get back to earth and start seeing it everywhere. and goddard futuristics started out as the wright-goddard aeronautics company; the wright brothers are already in like, every textbook ever - imagine how that's taught in a world where so many major developments are consolidated under this one narrative? gabriel urbina made an off-hand comment once about how, yes, NASA exists in the world of wolf 359, but you have to wonder who has better funding - the US government, or goddard futuristics?

Reality Check: Paralegal Edition

I've been a paralegal for almost 5 years. I work in a small town for a sole practitioner attorney who practices criminal and family law. She's also certified to handle capital defense cases. (Capital cases are cases in which the death penalty may be sought.) I enjoy a lot of the work that I get to do, but there have been some pretty harsh reality checks since I embarked on this career journey.

Reality Check No. 1: Even as a Paralegal you will end up doing secretarial work, but just how much depends on your office set up.

I expected to be able to go into the office and spend my day (mostly) tucked away in a little office or cubicle space drafting documents, doing legal research, and handling trial prep tasks while the secretary handled most of the people-related tasks like scheduling and taking messages. While this may be the case in larger firms, this is not the day-to-day reality for me. I don't work in a big firm in a city, and my boss is the only other staff member in the office. That means that I'm actually secretary, paralegal, accounts specialist, and office manager all rolled into one.

Most days, I actually spend about 80% of my time doing secretary tasks AND dealing with current and potential clients and only about 20% focusing on actual paralegal work that I went to school to be trained to do. As an introvert, the day-to-day dealing with all the people is exhausting, especially when I wasn't expecting such an uneven ratio in the work I chose. While there are some blessedly quiet days in which I get to sit at my desk and just focus on trial prep, evidence review, or document drafting, there aren't nearly enough of them to balance out.

Reality Check No. 2: You can't just turn it off at the end of the day.

I originally chose to become a paralegal instead of an attorney because I wanted to be able to leave the work at the office at the end of the day. I wanted a better work-life balance than attorneys are able to maintain. While I do have a better work-life balance than my boss, I still end up bringing the job home with me sometimes. I think about the people dealing with domestic violence that come through our office for divorces and Orders of Protection. I think about every single child that my boss has had to recommend placement in foster care. I think about the clients that come through on repeat DUI charges because they just can't stop drinking. I think about them, and I worry about them while I'm actively at home trying to leave the day behind. I also can't unsee some of the crime scene photos I've seen from particularly violent murders.

Being a paralegal also means that when people find out what I do, they suddenly want to come to me with every legal problem they have, whether my boss represents them or not. Online, at the grocery store, at any public place...somebody always wants to ask for *free* legal advice. Or, they want me to hook them up with free legal representation because they feel entitled because they know me.

Reality Check No. 3: You DO help people, for better or worse.

One of the reasons I chose to become a paralegal is because I wanted to be able to help people. I wanted to be able to walk people through legal processes in a way that attorneys often forget how to do after so many years of experience. Everybody deserves to be informed of what the steps to resolving their case are in language that they can actually understand.

I DO help people by explaining processes and drafting things for their cases. I help families by drafting adoption documents and documents that prohibit one parent from using a child against the other parent in custody cases. I help people in abusive relationships by drafting divorce documents and informing them how to get Orders of Protection.

However, on the flip side...I also draft motions that exclude criminal histories and motions that exclude evidence, which helps people that have been charged with things like first-degree murder get less severe sentences if convicted. Sometimes we succeed, and then they get out and repeat the same criminal activities. And let me tell you, trying to find a way to continue to see the good in people after repeatedly seeing crime scene photos and reading autopsy reports in which people have been killed in such unnecessarily violent ways becomes emotionally exhausting.

While you *can* choose to find an office that has a more traditional staff set up, things can change if the secretary leaves or if the office has to downsize. And even if you have the luxury to apply for only the paralegal jobs at offices that don't specialize in criminal law, your attorney may still be on the appointment list for criminal courts. Given that information, if you're not okay with the possibility of having to live with the reality outlined above, you may not be happy long-term in a career as a paralegal.
