Hmmmm, well Secretary and Receptionist, If you’re interested in being a secretary or receptionist, you’ll probably find that you need a typing speed between 55 and 80 words per minute (wpm). On average, you’ll need to type about 65wpm. Employers are looking for people who can type quickly so they can take dictation and quickly input information into the computer. Legal and Administrative Assistant, Administrative and legal assistants also need to be able to type quickly. Employers often look for applicants who can type around 70 words per minute. Some positions might be available only to applicants who type upward of 100wpm. Don’t sweat it if you don’t type that fast, though. Many employers are not as concerned with your typing speed as they are about you knowing how to do your job. If your typing speed isn’t as high as you’d like it to be but you have strengths in other areas, show the employer how your other skills still make you a great candidate for the job.

Court Reporter A court reporter needs to catch every word that is said during a court proceeding. This means that he or she needs to be able to type incredibly fast, around 225wpm. To achieve this, court reporters use special typing machines called stenotype machines. The keys on these machines are laid out differently than they are on a QWERTY keyboard, which is the standard computer keyboard layout. Court reporters go through special training to learn how to achieve such fast typing speeds.
