That You Always Knew Was Out There For You!

The Law Offices of James A. Welcome has an opening for an enthusiastic and professional bilingual secretary/receptionist/administrative assistant.

Our lawyers are ambitious and forward-thinking, but, most of all, we are problem solvers who care about getting the best results for our clients.

3. You have excellent customer service skills and you enjoy helping people. You enjoy answering phone calls because you enjoy helping people and interacting with people in hopes that you can make their day a little better.

4. You are confident in your own customer service skills and your compassion for others will make you a good fit as the first person that someone sees or speaks with when the contact the office.

If you are a self-starter, feel rewarded when you help your firm's clients, are an active learner, and committed to personal growth and accomplishment in your place of employment and in your profession, and finally, if you believe in focused hard work and a balanced work/ personal life/ family life--then this may be your next opportunity.
