Joy Imelda

With 6 years’ experience as an administrative assistant in a law firm, and thereafter an
accounts’ firm, I am entirely confident that I have the skills and experience to provide the
required assistance to your organization.
My main responsibilities at H.M. Mudeizi & Co. Advocates, where I worked from
October 2015 to March 2020, were:
➢ Manning the front office.
➢ Diary management, including arranging appointments.
➢ Organizing meetings and client presentations, including liaising with the legal clerk.
➢ Keeps cases organized by establishing and organizing files; monitoring calendars;
meeting deadlines; documenting actions; inputting information into file database
and case management software; confirming case status with the senior partner.
➢ Help in developing cases by maintaining contact with people involved in the case;
preparing responses to opposing counsel; generating status reports.
➢ Keeps clients informed by maintaining contact; communicating case progress.
➢ Support case preparation by preparing case summaries and materials.
➢ Receiving, sorting, registering, and distributing incoming mails for the assigned
department for action;
➢ Typing documents,
➢ Managing large amounts of inbound and outbound calls in a timely manner,
➢ Undertaking any other front office duties that were assigned.

I have highly developed organizational and prioritizing skills, with the ability to multitask
and effectively manage my time and responsibilities in order to ensure the smooth
running of the office. I also have advanced skills in Word, and I am quite good with
internet navigation as well.
I thrive in a challenging and fast-paced industry and I would be thrilled to assist you not

client solutions with confidence.
