Do you enjoy meeting and helping families? Do you love solving puzzles? Do you find you have certain habits and ways of accomplishing certain tasks each and every time? Do you dread the idea of doing the same thing day in and day out? If so, you might be THE ONE we are looking for. Ultra-successful, outside the box, growing rapidly law office with a nutty entrepreneur as its owner is looking for a sharp (PLEASE be realistic here) legal assistant and office clerk.
We’re looking for someone to become an important part of our intense, but fun group. You WILL learn an incredible amount about business, entrepreneurship and marketing, if you are interested. If this sounds exciting to you, you might be THE ONE.
This is a part-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. You will spent most of the days in our office located in McKinney although we have a Dallas location where you will work from one day a week. We are open typical business hours, and you will be expected to work the bulk of your hours within that time frame, although we are super flexible with working hours.
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. Obviously, multi-tasking is an absolute must.
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, salary requirements and a cover letter that clearly conveys WHY we should hire you and what you bring to the table to support@lawanlawgroup.com. Tell us what you’re looking for in a job and why you think you’d be a good fit. 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.
