filing is not just putting a piece of paper in a file. I have come across documents files in the wrong file and all because that person did not take the time to look carefully and review the document and that is when trouble hit the fan when you have an attorney asking for that particular document. I can say this you will have that attorney chew your head and your supervisor's head as well. It is not a laughing matter. there is lots of money at stake with filing because that attorney has the pressure from a JUDGE and the HEad Partner.

Hi Kathy, first and most you need to be extremely organized, very focused on the tiniest details like numbers and names research, and must have communication always. Must have Information Governance skills as well. you need to be sharp if it is a face pace office, multi-task, be on the alert with emails and know how to calendar. it is not just a calendar and oh know your documents and abbreviation to the Title of the documents and where to file. Under the category that needs to be filed. Must have a bachelor degree

Not much as its totally a learn on the job, job. Being accurate is important as well as being a sponge at learning everything that is shown to you. I started down that road in 1991 and have been doing a variation of that job for 28 years
