This is soooo the wrong section to stick this in but there isn't a work one and it will help put my mind at rest when I find an answer so I spose it has something to do with body and soul! Basically I'm having a job interview tomorrow for the position of legal secretary but I need to find a job spec for one because I'm not too sure what a legal secretary actually does. I've tried googling it but it just comes up with agencies trying to give me a job. If anyone can help that will be fantastic!
If you don't know what one does then I'd be suprised if you get the job, unless they are offering you training. Its basically a secretary who is able to understand legal terms (not as easy as you think).
Right ok. That's simple.
I studied Law at A Level for a year and then dropped out and my sister is a trainee solicitor so she should be able to help with terminology. The company said that they could teach a typist legal terminology but couldn't teach someone with experience in legal terminology to type so they are quite eager. It can't be that difficult surely.
In typist terms, a "legal secretary" is a secretary who has specialised in producing legal documents.
If you have not already received a job specification, the interview will be difficult for both sides.

What I meant by not as easy as you think, was it wasn't just a case of learning a few words in the space of a week. As they are offering training you should'nt have too many problems.
