Title searchers and examiners generally work a 40-hour week. Most public records offices are open only during regular business hours, so title searchers and examiners usually will not put in much overtime work, except when using private indexes and preparing abstracts.
The offices in which title searchers and examiners work can be very different in terms of comfort, space, and equipment. Searchers and examiners spend much of their day poring over the fine print of legal documents and records, so they may be afflicted occasionally with eyestrain and back fatigue. Generally, however, offices are pleasant, and the work is not physically strenuous.
Title searchers and examiners usually must dress in a businesslike manner because the work is often conducted in a business environment. Dress codes, however, have become more casual recently and vary from office to office.
