Default West suburbs of Chicago-Looking to hire legal assistant 25 to 30 hours a week!

Ok, I am adding to the staff of my law practice and looking to hire a legal asistant to work 4 to 5 days a week in my Dupage County office, in Oakbrook, IL, (west suburb of Chicago) to work at first between 25 to 30 hours a week, and maybe up to 35 hours a weeks once the person settles in and all goes well.

Would be paying $15 an hour at first, and possibly a little more based up experience level. The person does not have to have any legal experience but if he or she does have legal/litigation experience that is a plus and pay would be higher. Looking for somebody who wants to do this for the long haul and not just a temporary thing.

Ideally this would be a person who has para-legal experience (or just graduated para-legal school and looking for a job in this tuff economy). Again, legal experience is not necessary and willing to train.

Here are the qualifications that I am looking for that are important for the position:

1. High School Graduate
2. Smart
3. Very good phone professional presence on the telephone
4. Easy to work with
5. Follows instructions well
6. Good work ethic
7. The more detail orientated the better
8. Upbeat personality
9. Fast learner
10. Strong plus if you own a laptop (and has a PC at home).
11. MUST BE VERY RESPONSIBLE!!!!

If you know anybody, anybody at all who fits what I am looking for, PM her info and I will follow-up with them.

Thanks in advance.

This person would be an independant contractor so they would not be an employee of mine but an independant contractor.

They also are getting in on the ground floor and looking for that person eventually to be full-time and stick around the next 20 years, and they only have room to move up. I have a few part time people but they are not that one person I see sticking around the next 25 years, so this is for the LONG HAUL that I am looking for, and could be perfect for a lot of people. I am an extremely busy insurance defense trial lawyer defending accident cases and this is a GREAT oppurtunity for someone.

Person will also be subject to getting pay rate go up after 3 months and will get raised accordingly with time. They also will have the benefit of flexibility with their hours, even working out of there home on certain days.

$15 an hour is a starting point for someone with no experience or college education, and when I say I am looking for someone for the longhaul 20 years that sounds like some great job security to me.

If you have nothing positive to add from here I would ask you to kindly stay out of the thread as I am not looking for a pissin match to derail this thread when thousands of people need jobs and I have an opening for an immediate position.

Thanks in advance for not escalating from here and de-railing my thread for employment.

I am starting to get a lot of pms and don't have time to respond to them all, so best way to do this is to simply email your resume to my email at

Nitrovette@aol.com

Thanks,

Jim

Yes he is. He used to race snowmobiles with my dad. Both of them were in the low 9's. Years ago they went halfs on the dragster. He owned half of it but never really got into it all that much.

Don't want to get too sidetracked here but will make one last comment, I know the whole crew there well from Dawn, Jim's sister the Attorney (your aunt), and Associated Tom and Tom Halterman (who is know there). Use to work with them closely but not so much anymore.



Back on track, the more I think about this I believe I am going to be leaning with someone with paralegal litigation experience, who knows how to do paralegal litigation work like answering interrogatories, requests for production of documents (I know it all sounds like Greek to most here).
