PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
State Attorney for 11th Judicial Circuit
Information Processing Operator II
(February 3, 1986 to May 31, 2006)
In this office which prosecutes criminal cases in Miami Dade County, Florida, I
word processed complex documents related directly to the prosecution of criminal
cases at different stages of development (i.e. Search Warrants, pleadings, Jury
Instructions, Grand Jury Memorandums, etc..)
Additionally, I created and updated other documents which supported the
prosecutorial function of the Office, such as the office wide telephone list, contact
data on local government officials and law enforcement officials, which entailed the
creation lengthy merge lists which were merged into formal formatted merge forms,
letters, envelopes, etc.
Also, this Office needed a large repository of pre-produced forms which only
necessitated variable information to be inserted and I updated and added to this
repository (before these forms were placed in a database program and while they
were accessible documents). This included forms with desktop publishing
elements.
I assisted our neighbor department with the processing of initial charging
documents (i.e. Informations and Discoveries), which were tied to a database and
not word processed.
Ending, I occasionally assisted the Training Officer by training fellow workers on
specific documents and/or procedures and directly assisted fellow workers with
preparation inquiries.
Florida Department of Corrections
Probation and Parole Services
(September, 1984 to January, 1986)
In this office which supervises probationers and parolees, I processed a large and
time sensitive quantity of legal documents relating to supervision of
probationers/parolees (i.e. Affidavits of Violation [Probation], Warrant Request of
Revocation [Parolees], etc
Additionally, during probationer/parole reporting time (first of the month), wherein
an overwhelming amount of said individuals attended or telephoned this office for
mandatory reporting, I assisted the receptionist during receptionist’s breaks (and
when incoming live and telephonic traffic became overwhelming for said
receptionist) by processing heavy walk-in probationer/parolee traffic and operating
a multi line telephone system.

(1983)
This office was a real estate research firm.

and any encumbrances on a property.
