A typing clerk’s primary duty is to produce or edit various documents, such as reports, correspondence and presentations. He receives or gathers data to create documents from scratch or from existing materials. For example, he might retype handwritten documents, rewrite drafts or transcribe voice recordings. A typing clerk might print, copy and prep his work for physical handout or faxing, or send his work to others in an electronic format. Additional clerical duties might include data and filing system management and reception work, such as answering phones and greeting visitors.
