In fact, if you don't have a demonstrated strong work ethic or reliability is not of the utmost importance to you, then you should NOT apply.

In addition to skillfully handling the phones, the candidate will also be responsible for performing some legal and administrative assistance, including: preparing legal documents assist with incoming and outgoing mail and scanning scheduling appointments court and bank runs maintaining office organization inventorying and ordering office supplies Some additional fine print you should know before you apply: 1+ year of receptionist experience required – and not just taking messages or transferring calls 1+ year of paralegal/legal assistance experience preferred – we're happy to train Desire and demonstrated ability to crush it. Every. Single.
