I'm currently working in accounting amd am seeking to transition to a paralegal role without taking a pay cut.

I have 2 years of experience as a contract administrator and 2 years experience dealing with multiole government agencies from local to federal levels. Is this experience sufficient for such a career move?

If you have you Paralegal Certificate from an ABA approved program I would say absolutely. You should be able to land an awesome Paralegal position. Good luck to you.

Networking is going to be crucial for you - this is your opportunity to speak about the transferability of your accounting/office skills, as well as your enthusiasm for a paralegal position. I had a client who recently transitioned into a paralegal position after receiving her certificate (she was previously in a government administrative role). She got the paralegal job through networking in our local community.
