"It was an honor, and also a lot of fun," she says, "truly a special experience. The hardest part was that they pulled the plug on WordPerfect within a month of when I got there - with almost no notice to me. I was slammed with help calls."
"But," she adds with a laugh, "I like feeling needed."
At the end of the project in March of 2015, Ms. Berinstein's supervisor, Susan DeWitt, who was then the Acting Executive Assistant United States Attorney, presented Ms. Berinstein with a plaque in recognition of her "dedicated support and outstanding service."
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Sacramento had previously hired Ms. Berinstein directly to provide Word training and help design pleading templates.
In addition, Ms. Berinstein taught classes for several Southern California law firms converting from WordPerfect to Word and/or firms that still use WordPerfect for most of their documents, but need to become fluent in Word, as well.
"I truly enjoy teaching," she says enthusiastically. "And I think that comes across to my trainees. They also appreciate that I am patient and understanding, and that I make sure everyone is following along before moving to the next topic. You might say that I teach not at the speed of light, but at the speed of enlightenment."
Ms. Berinstein looks forward to taking on new projects for in 2016.
Remote training typically costs less than on-site training, and it's an excellent option for clients who are located outside Ms. Berinstein's territory - California, Nevada, and other places within 6 to 8 hours of Los Angeles by car.
"On-site training is preferable in most situations," Ms. Berinstein says. "But it's not always feasible. And sometimes clients want just enough training to get them up and running or solve a couple of specific problems. That's when remote training is ideal."
In 2014 and 2015, Ms. Berinstein provided remote training sessions for clients in Florida, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, San Diego, and Northern California.
