What file clerks do
File clerks sort, label, and store paper and electronic documents; retrieve files on request; scan paper records into document management systems; and purge or archive files according to retention schedules.
Training path
Most positions require a high school diploma or equivalent and offer on-the-job training. Familiarity with records-management software (such as iManage or Worldox) and scanner workflows is a plus for law and healthcare settings.
Work setting
Employers include law firms, hospitals and medical clinics, county recorder’s offices, federal archives such as NARA, banks, and corporate human-resources departments. Many roles are migrating toward records-scanning and indexing as offices go digital.
