Job Posting from Pam

Okay, so this job is in the Milwaukee area, but the firm sounds fun. Also, it says a lot of things I'm always saying, and I like to seize any opportunity to prove that I'm not crazy.

Job Posting — Paralegal/Legal Secretary

Posted March 10, 2016 by Derek Allen

Shannon Law Office is growing and we’re looking for a paralegal/legal assistant for our litigation department (ok, litigation attorney–it’s a pretty small department).
To succeed at this job, you’re going to need to be organized because the attorney you’ll be working with is not. He also hates typos and ugly formatting, so you’re in good shape if you are able to catch those types of things in documents before they go out the door. Finally, our clients are EVERYTHING to us and you’ll be dealing directly with ones who are going through a hard time–professionally, personally, or in some cases both. That means you’ll have to be attentive, respectful, compassionate, and discrete at all times when you’re dealing with them.
Experience in the legal profession is helpful, but not required. If you don’t have experience in an office environment using things like Microsoft Word or Outlook, it might be a tough learning curve for you.
The job will be part-time at first, likely 10-15 hours per week and the hours are flexible. But as the litigation practice grows, so will the hours and it may eventually become a full-time position.
To apply, please send a short cover email with a copy of your résumé (less than one page) to Derek Allen with Shannon Law Office. His email address should be pretty easy to track down. If you can’t find it, then this probably isn’t the job for you.
