What Are They Going To Ask. What Should I Do To Prepare?

What Are They Going To Ask.  What Should I Do To Prepare?



This is the question that was asked of me today concerning a student that had a long awaited interview with a mid sized legal firm for a word processing operator/administrative Assistant position.  l said, how long have you been waiting for the interview?  They responded 3 weeks.  I then said that is a nice amount of time that you could have been studying.  

Okay, so what does one do?   You know if they test you it is most probably going to be a document that tests your “depth of knowledge”.  So we are talking litigation or corporate type documents and in some cases, a hybrid of the two in order to squeeze as many procedures as possible into the test in order to see “how and if” you can handle what is being asked.  This can be segmenting documents, multiple page number scenarios, multilevel outlines, financials, and so much more.  The problem is the “so much more”.

Those of you that are attempting to make a lateral move are probably mostly up to date with the software, but most probably have gaps in your knowledge due to the type of law your attorney practices.

Other people who may have been out of work for a while and out of the loop and the routine, will have major gaps in their knowledge and what really goes first are the nuances associated with doing this type of work.  There are a lot of nuances.

What can we do for you?

We do a 4.5 hour Test Prep course that includes homework and practice tests through Zoom or at your office.  We are one of the very few who teach top tier style legal and corporate word processing,

Who Will Benefit?

Secretaries
Word Processing Operators
Paralegals
IT Help Desk
Law Students 


AdvanceTo has trained students to do MS Office for top-tier legal and corporate firms since 2004. We also have 20 plus years in legal as Lead Operator, Coordinators, IT Help Desk and of course Corporate Trainers. 


We do thorough training from Basic through Advanced for both Legal and Corporate firms.  We typically train for secretaries paralegals, law students, and word processing personnel for legal and corporate firms. We are from the inside of the industry and our training gets results. 


Here are the possible scenarios that would have you going to take an MS Word Hands-On Legal Secretarial or WP level test. 


1.  You are about to take a hands-on MS Word Test at an agency or law firm for a great new job opportunity.


2.  You have been working at a particular firm for a long time and you are using third party software.  You lose that position and are forced to go out and test.  Your generic MS Office skills are no longer there.


3.  Finally, you are new to the industry, you have worked hard to get to a certain level and you now have to test.


Our live test prep class is 4 5 hours (can be split into two sessions), and you also receive post class practice tests and assistance.  This class is a great value!


The cost is $175.00


We have seen countless tests from law firms and employment agencies so we know the range of what can be asked of you.  We have authored tests of our own so you are in good hands.

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch!

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch! Scenario : An attorney brings to you a document that is composed of hand written pages, typed up pages that will be inserts, some of the typed up pages have document numbers where you can grab the material without having to type the insert related material.   The attorney has asked you to please create a TOC, TOA and Index of Terms page.  You are also informed that there will be an Exhibit A and B in the back of the documen t.  So knowing this info upfront, how do we go about segmenting the document into its proper sections? Of course we need a cover page.  Most probably it will need a border and will be centered vertically on the screen.  Therefore we need a Section Break “Next Page ” after our cover page. For our TOC, TOA and Index Pages, we need a page break after the TOC, a page break after the TOA and a Section Break “Next Page” after the Index of Terms page.  This second section will ...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Dealing With Building Blocks - Another Way To Avoid Having To Do Things Again and Again… Scenario :  A number of years ago, when working as Coordinator in a word processing center, I had a document that I called “ Pieces ”.  That was my junk yard for pieces of documents such as all types of Caption Boxes, Signature blocks, Financial Tables, Red Herring Boxes, Line Numbering Boxes and other items that I used on a regular basis.  By having them in the pieces document, I gave myself a huge head start.  Well, at that time, I had known about Building Blocks but never used them.  Well, you can use my “Pieces” concept or better yet, an organized way to capture and keep vital items that pop up again and again so you are always in a position to never have to do them from scratch . How to create a building block; Highlight the content you want to save, which can include text, images, tables, or other elements. Go to the Insert tab , find th...
