Background

About Clara Forbeck

I am currently working at Esquire Assist, Ltd, a real estate law firm located in Harrisburg, PA. My role as a legal assistant requires effective time and project management skills to ensure cutoff times are met for client orders. Clear and concise communication is key when fulfilling client requests as deadlines are crucial. I keep a sharp eye to ensure client filings meet state standards and also work with clients to revise documents. This job has allowed me to utilize all of my college learning, job experience, and more detailed below. I am a 4.0 HACC Business AAS graduate. My Business Management program has provided me with the necessary learning and skills to be an effective manager. Such skills include operational, planning, organizational, communication, and business software. My financial and managerial accounting classes taught me to record, review, and understand financial information. The courses allowed me to create and execute business plans. Utilizing my organizational skills put me ahead of my work. My communication skills were developed and sharpened by the group work I completed throughout my program. Working successfully in a group required me to remain effective, concise, and respectful in all communication. Finally, I have gained a thorough knowledge of business software, including Microsoft and Google, through the completion of several courses dedicated to utilizing these tools. My ability to operate a computer and communicate via the phone developed during my time as an intern at a Pennsylvania State Representative’s office. I learned to enter constituent data into a computer, answer phone calls, reply to emails and record messages. My internship at Heavenly Roast Coffee also advanced these skills as I made cold calls and cultivated relationships with the customer base. My ability to manage employees developed during my time at Chick-fil-A where I trained new hires. I understand the importance of leadership in the workplace. Consequently, I always strive to be a leader by example. Leading a team or working as a team member always requires active listening and collaboration. Clear communication in both speaking and writing is crucial to the success of a business. I know my courses have prepared me to meet these needs. My liberal arts courses have taught me critical thinking. I enjoy rising to the challenge. I want to put my skills to the test doing a job I love. Personally, the most significant aspect of a job is how my results affect my coworkers and the world.
