Wishful Thinking?
What skills do you WISH you had to make your work life easier?
I would like to be more proficient in working with Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. The days are pretty busy so it is hard to find time to learn the programs at work. One of my duties is to regularly update parts of our website, so it would be helpful to know more about website design.
I have to agree with Susan - it seems as though you can never be proficient enough in some computer programs and yet the demands of the law office do not allow a lot of extra time for learning.

Organizational skills are crucial, but I am not sure that is something that can be taught. Multi-tasking is part of any legal secretarial job.
