I am a recent graduate of an Office Administration/Legal Assistant program and also hold a Law Clerk diploma. I have been certified as a Microsoft Office specialist. I decided to start a Virtual business because I could not secure a position in my field. My greatest challenge is establishing a clientelle and learning how to make this business take off. I look forward to any advice or comments.

Sounds like you have a experienced background. I wish I had half the stuff you have. I am thinking of going to school for my B.S in Health Administration but its a big jump and I want to be able to do something from home as well and if I had to, go out in the field. Everyone is GREAT around here... so I am sure you will fit right in! __________________ Kirsten C kirsties-life Twitter

Just keep checking and contributing to the posts and you will learn so much here at VAF and have great support as well! There are also specialties and groups to join -- and you can always start one as well. Perhaps to look up threads re paralegal and other related subjects - or to even start your own threads. I have an interest in Legal also.

Got a website? Make sure to list it. If not - I recommend GoDaddy. You can look at my site - under a little reconstruction right now and if you are interested just click on banner at bottom of page. They really are inexpensive and you can get domain name, webhosting and everything right there. I had some questions/problems as I am not experienced at web design and their customer service (24/7) was great!

I have had numerous views, however, no hits. I wish I knew how to attract that first client!! __________________ Cindy Bradley - Bradley Legal Admin Member of Excellence - IAAP/Microsoft Office Specialist
