February 13, 2013

 

I am looking for a part-time to full-time paralegal position Monday through Friday.

The ability to be flexible and adapt to new situations is an integral part of my current and past positions. My previous daily activities varied from writing police reports, to discussing conflicts in the department, to handling administrative issues within and outside the department (public relations). I also attended court regularly, filed and maintained my cases through trail, and issued citations for violations within my jurisdiction. Much of my time was working within the high school district, but I maintained regular shifts as patrol officer as well. I am a certified Paralegal, a certified School Resource Officer, and also a Certified Juvenile Officer.

I am a dedicated employee. I work well alone and/or with partners.

I would like an opportunity to discuss employment positions for me at your agency.

 

Sincerely,

Juanita S. Gumble
