In my previous roles as a legal secretary and receptionist, I have been required to be familiar and competent in all areas of Microsoft Office suite, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. I have also dealt with numerous databases including in-house recruitment databases, filing systems, online data sharing and payroll systems and Client Management System. As such, I am able to type at a minimum of 50-60 words per minute.
I am used to working in a high paced work environment, where there is quite often a quick turnaround in terms of file processing. As a result, I was required to take a number of phone calls, whilst organising paperwork and meeting deadlines, as well as making sure all scanning is up to date and any urgent tasks are completed to ensure quick turn around and accurate file updates. Being able to prioritise urgent and non-urgent tasks was a vital part of my role, as we have multiple deadlines.
