JOB TITLE — FILE CLERK/RECEPTIONIST

This is a FULL-time job to start. The hard part will probably be resisting the urge to move in and sleep at the office until you can get some systems in place.  We are open typical business hours, and you will be expected to work the bulk of your hours within that time frame.

You MUST be able to handle working with several different databases of information and one of your most critical and immediate jobs will be to help us get a handle on all of our critical data.  Of course, proficiency with Word and Excel is expected; knowledge of PowerPoint, Publisher and Adobe is a plus.  You must be comfortable learning other software programs.

You will need to know how to figure things out on your own and be able to creatively problem solve situations.  And, if you are above making a pot of coffee or answering phones, this is NOT the job for you.  Part of this job includes greeting our clients, making coffee, running errands and manning the reception desk.  The other part of this job, though, involves staying in touch with our clients, and helping with our marketing efforts. 

You must be able to think on your feet and make smart decisions.  If you aren’t please don’t apply because like The Donald, I hire slow and fire fast.  Now, you don’t need to walk around on eggshells (in fact, if you do, we won’t get along too well), but if you can’t stand the heat, you will be asked to leave the kitchen – immediately.  We are very busy and need you to be straightforward and direct.  

Positive people ONLY need apply.  Attitudes are contagious and we don’t want to catch yours if it’s toxic or negative, which includes whining, complaining or being a victim.  You will definitely not fit in if you even THINK you may be in one of those categories.  If you lose stuff, aren’t organized, and get distracted easily, do NOT apply.

Is this an easy job? No. It might be the biggest challenge of your life.  But, I believe that anything really great is worth working for and our greatest growth comes from the biggest challenges.  And, if you are THE ONE, we’ll take more of an interest in the development and growth of your career and your future than any employer you’ve ever met.

If you are THE ONE, please send your resume and a cover letter that clearly conveys WHY we should hire you and what you bring to the table. Tell us what you’re looking for in a job, why you think you’d be a good fit, how many hours a week you would love to be working, and how much you would love to earn to start. You can even be creative and send us a video! The more creativity you use to show us how you will represent us in the community, the better. Oh, and make sure to put “I’m THE ONE” in the subject line. Any emails without the correct subject line won’t even be opened. Our email address is support@hlglegal.com.com.
