Immediate Job Opening at ATA

POSITION TITLE: Scribe

PRÉCIS: Looking for a highly proficient wordsmith with technical proclivities and legal comprehension to prepare letters for residential renters in the exercise of their landlord-tenant rights. The product is the heart of casework, resulting in success if it is done right.

JOB DETAILS:
- Involves legal document preparation, customizing a wide range of templates.
- Invariably high pressure, must meet deadlines.
- Tenor akin to a privatized public defenders office, constant flow of cases helping residential renters and addressing exigencies.
- You'll learn a lot, especially landlord-tenant law.
- When work is caught up (a rare occasion) or emergencies (a little less rare), may involve some phones and office customer service, administrative activities.
- The position requires a long-term commitment, due to the extensive learning curve.
- FT, but flexible hours in office, Tempe, AZ. Okay for Saturdays.

ALL ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Detail oriented with organizational expertise.
- Very intelligent, self-sufficient hard worker with legalistic mind.
- Fast on your cognitive feet, able to piece concepts and circumstances together within framework.
- Mastery of the written word: impeccable spelling, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and phraseology.
- Computer and typing adroitness, familiarity with MS Word shortcut keys - this means you are a quick and nimble magician around a keyboard (example: if your concept is to delete by repetitive backspace, delete key or mouse highlight, forget it).
- Candidate must either be a certified legal document preparer, or willing to undergo training to that end, or an attorney who is comfortable doing document preparation absent client legal consultation.
- Prompt, reliable, dedicated and focused. Back room banter leaves the job undone.

DESIRABLE ATTRIBUTES:
- Administrative experience
- Social conscience

PROSPECTS: Business has consistently grown and is poised for further, imminent expansion. Your involvement is a key component. Not too far down the road there could be additional scribes trained by you and functioning under your supervision.

TO APPLY: Position is open NOW for someone available NOW. Bring/mail resume, with references, to 505 W. University Dr., Suite B, Tempe, AZ 85281, or e-mail with reply (see Contact link), including all telephone numbers at which you can be reached at all times. Do not telephone us; we will call you.

COMPENSATION: $20/Hour DOE and Proficiency
