Subject: Paralegal/ Legal Assistant for hire
Greetings,
I am currently a student at Bryant & Stratton and am participating in their online paralegal certification. My anticipated course completion is October 2024 and I plan to pursue a national certification through NALA. I am eager to gain the experience I need especially in the area I am most interested in: family law. While I do not have direct experience working at a firm yet, I have gained some research and e-filing experience. Further, I have worked in a professional office setting through the Oneida County Department of Social Services which also required computer and relational skills. Additionally, my previous server positions have given me excellent customer service experience.
I have attached my resume for your review. Please contact me via email or phone to discuss the position further. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Amy Dineen
