I am struggling right now with staffing. I am hiring my first staff member. I am hiring a part-time legal secretary. In the ad, I listed all the tasks the person will do such as open files, schedule appointments, etc. I was specific about the hours (10hrs/week), pay ($15/hr) and tasks (about 15 on legal tasks). Yet I keep on getting resumes from law students or lawyers. Do I consider those resumes or ignore them? My gut tells me to ignore them because I truly need a secretary. I don’t need any legal help, at least not now. However, I don’t know if I am being short-sighted. BTW I also told them to write their name backward and pdf their resume to see if they follow directions, and these people did.
