Legal Assistant / Secretary

I feel my academic program and internship at Herzing College has prepared me for the future one hundred percent. I have gained knowledge and experience that I couldn’t have gotten without Herzing College, and now I feel so confident in my ability to be a great Legal Assistant. If I am to ever get a different job, my internship and the mock interviews have made me less nervous and more prepared for those excruciating first impressions and stages that come with applying for a new job. Also my knowledge in law itself has not only prepared me for my job as a Legal Assistant, but also personally, since it is always important to know your rights as a human being. My time at Herzing has taught me so much, like how to be efficient but accurate, how to be personable but still professional, and most importantly... how to believe in yourself.

The Legal Assistant program and internship from Herzing College has prepared me for my future in many ways. I will now be able to pursue a career in the legal area that I desire because I have the knowledge and the experience that I need to work in the legal area. I believe that Herzing College has helped me with my attitude and performance that I need to work in a law firm. Herzing College has also helped me with my knowledge of Microsoft Word, without learning all the different icons in Word, I would not be able to format documents. My typing speed has also prepared me for my future because my typing when I first enrolled was only 23 wpm and I am now typing 65 wpm. I feel that the internship definitely had a big part in preparing me for my future. It let me see what working in a law firm was like and gave me a lot of experience before I actually got out into the workforce.

My future has a clearer pattern to it after completing my education at Herzing College. My internship provided me with the experience to feel more secure in myself while being employed. In our academic program, we were forced to make some changes with scheduling and it provided us with the knowledge that we would be working in a constant changing environment. Our education also provided us with professionalism tools that helped guide us to be accepted and understood while we were in the stages of not getting hired yet. I believe that my internship contributed a great amount as far as my job offer at Delley Fabbri Sellen in the way that they were shown my skills and abilities as well as my professionalism through the work that I performed on internship.

I feel that the program and internship at Herzing College has prepared me with the knowledge and hands on experience of my future career. When I walk into an office, I can look at a document with confidence and not confusion. The internship has given me the opportunity to apply what I had learned through the theory and lab lessons. Although the program and internship only covers the basic knowledge of a Legal Assistant, it would still help me with my career by giving me the experience that employers look for. Having the experience, employers would not have to train me from the beginning in regards to the position only with the certain procedures their office complies with. I feel that the program and internship has not only given me the experience of working as a Legal Assistant but also the knowledge of the work. Having the experience and knowledge, I am able to communicate with others in the work environment and follow the topic easily and I am able to complete the tasks with little instruction or help. Although I will miss all the new friends I have made during the program at Herzing College, I am looking forward with confidence for what the world has to offer me and the different changes in day to day life.
