A no experience file clerk organizes documents and information for their employer. In this position, your clerical duties can involve working with both paper files and electronic data. As an entry-level clerk, you organize data and documents using an existing file system, and one of your first job responsibilities is often to learn this system. Typically, you work at a desk and place paper files in filing cabinets. If your company digitizes documents, you scan paper files or manually type information into a database. A file clerk is also in charge of shredding or deleting sensitive information when necessary.
