Secretarial Jobs No Longer Guaranteed Long Term Means Your Skills Must Be Kept Updated

Secretarial Jobs No Longer Guaranteed Long Term Means Your Skills Must Be Kept Updated

As a teacher, I come across this scenario all the time.  You have either a secretary working in a law firm for many years and has a substantial salary (for the position) but does not necessarily produce as they once had or they can easily be replaced by a younger less expensive employee.

The other scenario is the law firm has a word processing staff all at high salaries and the firm decides to cut the entire department loose in favor of an outsource which will shake out high salaries and medical expense obligations.

In both scenarios this is what the employee is now up against:

1.  They have relied on third party software and have LONG forgotten generic MS Word in terms of Multi-Level Outline, Table of Authorities, Document Comparison and the list goes on.

2.   They are in for a shock when going to test at an agency or law firm and they do not know what awaits them.  They ultimately fail the test and then realize they need to get a quality refresher course so they have the ability to compete in the marketplace.  

3.  They are up against hungry temps who have SHARPENED skills since they are in survival mode and they now find themselves in a tough position that can leave them out of the business or accepting jobs that are way below the prior job in terms of stature and salary.for lack of Generic MS Word skills.

What Do We Offer:

1.  We teach basic-advanced word processing for legal firms.  Our students attain expert level before we send them out for testing.
2.  We write testing for agencies and fully pre-test our students before they go to agencies for testing.
3.   Our students will be at the top of the ladder in terms of knowledge, strategy and skill level.
4.  You will have the ability to compete with anyone and you will get noticed!

Whether you are still in your current job and need to upgrade your current generic MS Word skills, you see the writing on the wall and wish to take preemptive action or have already been laid off then we can help!

With decades of experience as teachers, coordinators, lead operators and IT personnel we train from an inside perspective.
