I graduated school for legal assisting a few weeks ago, and moved back to my hometown. I had planned to stay in the city where jobs are plentiful, but the crime drove me away. I haven't seen so much as an ad posted here looking for paralegals or anything related. I've decided now that I'd really like to stay put if possible, so I've thought about going to firms and introducing myself. I'm not that outgoing, but people keep telling me that's the way to do it in small towns. Should I wear a suit? I have two suits that are only for interviews - pretty stiff and formal, and from there, it's mostly khakis (I worked as an intern). I feel like I look better in a dress shirt and khakis than I do in a suit, and it's more comfy, but is it appropriate? I've never done this. Would a black skirt be better? I don't own dress pants that I like - I need to buy a good pair, but I need the job first. I plan to intro myself and say what I'm looking for - could lead to an interview, but not sure.
