File Clerk

Filing Clerks are employed by companies to make sure their documents are properly stored and organized for employees to easily retrieve for later use. They typically create a filing system and organize documents in orders like chronological, alphabetical, subject matter or numerical. File Clerks may be given hard copies of files, which they’re responsible for converting into a digital file and then returning the original document back to the owner. If they’re missing other important documents, they may need to request them from the necessary locations. They may also destroy or archive any files that are outdated if granted permission or instruction by their supervisor. Some File Clerks are also responsible for completing light clerical duties as well, like sending emails, making phone calls and greeting office visitors.
