One more out of the running

[msmemory_archive]

This morning's interview had not shown up (nor phoned to report she was lost or ill) as of one hour after her appointment.

It may be a Very Good Thing that we've been inundated with resumes. Of the first four interviewees, one was overqualified, one was suitable but not fabulous, one cancelled an hour before her appointment, one no-showed.

(Anybody I know want to be an Administrative Assistant in the Lebanon/White River area? The position is still open, and I'd get a referral bonus.)

How much handling of hard-copy (as opposed to electronic) paperwork is involved?

My Lady is still looking for a job, and while we don't *want* to move, if it comes to that, it comes to that.

I suspect enough hardcopy work to make it difficult for your Lady to do the job: there's faxing, photocopying, filing, proofreading, assembling binders for conference attendees. She could certainly do the phone answering, typing, lunch arrangements, parts of the job. She'd have to judge the difficulties of stuff like faxing/filing/mail sorting.

Description reads:
The principal duties and responsibilities for this position are: formatting technical documents and correspondence, backing up for the receptionist, assisting in course and presentation materials, and other Administrative Assistant duties as assigned. A High School degree with a business emphasis and 3-5 years experience in a related position, along with word processing, presentation preparation, and spreadsheet skills, are required. Strong organizational, grammar, communication, multi-tasking, and teamwork skills are required.

That's what I was afraid of.

And, with a Bachelor's, they'd probably say "overqualified".

The description, as listed, she could do, is the thing. But, the hardcopy...no, too many issues.
