there are a few guys in large companies that work as admin assts and they are very good. i think that your difficulty here will be selling yourself as an admin , fixing your resume to reflect that skill set. you do not want to be seen as a paralegal that can’t gain employment becuase they won’t want to hire someone who will leave when a better paralegal position opens up. we had a paralegal position and many lawyers applied for it, we would not hire an attorney as a paralegal (even though they had great experience of course) because we viewed them as unstable, not going to stay a long time. market yourself correctly and you should have no trouble.

I am going through the same thing. It seems that most employers I contact about becoming an Administrative Assistant, prefer women. All the people at my corporate office here, that are A.A’s are women.

I would think a temp agency would be the best way to go. That way you are placed temporarily in a position and then the employer gets to see that you can do the job regardless of being a man or woman. Good Luck!

Yes, look in the yellow pages for admin temp agencies. Do you have a degree in paralegal studies? If I were you I would work as temp in admin assist and in the meantime get your degree in paralegal studies and then apply for paralegal jobs. Good luck!

I don’t see why not. If you have a good knowledge of those computer programs and are familiar with an office environment then you should have no problem.
