Phoenix College - Phoenix, Arizona

Initially certified to teach in the areas of Human Resources, General Business, and the Paralegal Program, approved by the American Bar Association. As the Paralegal Program Internship Coordinator, I worked with law firms, agencies and corporations to place internship students in law offices to gain hands-on experience as a paralegal. Students are taught effective resume formats, cover letter writing and interviewing techniques, as well as general employee development skills necessary for a successful career as a paralegal. I research salary and career opportunity data for paralegal jobs (and those that require paralegal training and skills) in the Phoenix metropolitan area. I have been a keynote speaker at workshops and seminars on job search strategies and career development, effective resume and cover letter writing, interviewing techniques and strategy, and salary negotiations.
