Being a paralegal or legal secretary requires one to be detail oriented, be able to multi-task and handle clients with various degrees of hardships who have no where else to turn. The clients are understandably upset and need someone to help. If the attorney is not available and the client is anxious or needs immediate assistance that isn't available it is often put on the shoulders of the paralegal/legal secretary. There is a high degree of stress and often times long hours. But, those are the drawbacks. These drawbacks are off-set by a competive wage, a good relationship (hopefully) with your boss and other employees, feeling the satisfaction of clients who have positive results and the personal satisfaction in doing a job that really matters to people. If you are energetic and dedicated and treat your work as more than a job (as a career) then the positives really outweight the drawbacks. |
