Thank you for taking the time to review my resume' website.  I am currently a student at Palomar College in the paralegal certification program.  My goal for completion of this program is December 2005. 

 

I am interested in obtaining a position in a law firm or law office that will enable me to expand on the knowledge and skills that I have acquired through my studies at Palomar.  Although my professional experience to date is that of sales, I feel that I have developed many skills that I can carry over into a legal career. 

 

I have worked in an office environment for eighteen years.  During this time, I have worked with all levels of personnel.  As a sales representative, I have extensive customer relations experience.  In addition, the review of documents has been a very integral part of my role in sales.  I also have experience with many different softwares.  It has been essential throughout my career to have the ability to learn new  programs as necessary.  Monitoring backlogs and customer follow-up are also skills that can be very useful in case management.

 

My decision to change careers from that in sales to a paralegal is due to a desire to do something that I find interesting.  I would also like to be in a position where I can assist people with genuine problems. 

 

This said, I feel that I have much to offer as a paralegal.  I realize that I may have to start with an entry level position.  I am confident, however, that with minimal experience, I will be able to perform beyond that. I would very much like the opportunity to discuss any positions for which you feel I may be suited.

 

Please feel free to contact me via email or phone.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kimberly A. Walsh
