What are some of the characteristics that you must have? You see the glass half full. We have no place for toxic people and workplace drama. Our team is outstanding and does amazing work. We communicate all the time and openly. We acknowledge our mistakes and apologize when we have affected others negatively. We are looking for someone who is not afraid of Windows computers. This will be your working environment, and we do not allow work on personal computing devices. You will always be learning new things that will make your work easier, but we can’t wait for you to learn Windows. You must be proficient with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace and basic case management. Also, we’re looking for someone who not only “follows” policies and procedures, but also embraces them and is thankful they exist. In fact, if you get excited about creating new policies, procedures, templates, checklists, or systems because you know they make your life easier, you’ll probably make your way to the top of our list. We seek someone with enthusiasm for the work we do (and hopefully life in general). You must be able to focus, think clearly, and give advice compassionately. You must be able to analyze client situations considering many variables, but also think on your feet and make smart decisions. You also need to be detail-oriented and able to keep focus on the big picture at the same time. Even in a simple estate plan, the interaction between the words in one document and the words in a separate document can make a big difference in the efficacy of the estate plan. You must be able to keep the client’s goals in mind while working on the minutia of precise document language. The right language can save money, time, and confusion later when it matters. We strive to work smarter. We help a lot of people protect their loved ones and create a lasting legacy. Efficiency helps us help more people. You must be willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right the first time. In our practice, getting it done right the first time for our clients is very important. Sometimes there is no opportunity for a second chance. You have emotional intelligence and empathy. You must be able to take coaching and suggestions well and deal well with people (clients, team members, and referral sources). You must be a team player. Our team is growing, and you will be instrumental in that growth. We are strong believers in the team approach and our office is a team environment, so if you are not a team player, this is not the job for you. You need to be able to talk to clients and staff in a manner that is confident, kind, and candid. Because we deal with folks of different ages and varying education levels, you must have patience and the ability to explain legal documents in a common language. Nobody here is impressed by lawyer talk. You might need to deliver difficult messages with compassion and without talking down, barking, or snapping. You must be able and willing to confront issues early and head-on to help the team grow and thrive. While it is important to show that you care about our clients, it is more important to actually care about them. If, on the other hand, you realize that the work environment can help you get your job done efficiently, with other people who love their job, while helping people who really need it, allow you to earn a great income, and also have a life outside of work, then you are the type of candidate we would like to meet. If hired, you will be part of a wonderful team of people who work hard to get the job done right the first time and take pride in the work that they do. You will be part of a team that is rewarded for their hard work. Compensation is negotiable based on experience and is subject to review after 90 days. The compensation package plan will give you some control over what you can earn working for our firm. If we succeed, you will too! Is this going to be an easy job? No. It might be one of the biggest challenges of your life. But it is our belief that anything really great is worth working for and that our greatest growth comes from our biggest challenges. You will be challenged. You will have fun. You will be compensated. You will still get to see your family, and take vacations. If you think our office sounds like a fun place to be, this may be the job for you. If this sounds harsh or unfair, then this is not the job for you. You should stop reading this ad right now. If you have gotten this far and are thinking about applying, it means that you are ready for a challenge and want to be part of a team that helps people and rewards good work.
