Secretary job? Not in today’s world. Employees are expected to be proficient on a keyboard and do their own typing/filing.
The CTL Law firm has offices in three states and we don’t employ a single secretary.
I’m the principal and have never had a secretary. I do have a paralegal who does some research and court filings, but that is a position that requires specific education and licensing in many states.
I also have an administrative assistant who answers and screens my calls, greets clients coming in to see me, settled them into the correct conference room or my office and might even bring coffee or water. In between she handles our banking and insurance.
I know almost no professionals who have secretaries anymore. Occasionally, there will be a clerical worker who does some typing, billing, copying and filing, but that position does not have the skills and smarts a legal of medical secretary would have had 40+ years ago
