Comments:
If you want a secretarial job...then this is the place for you. I
myself repeatedly told them I wanted a Desktop Publishing
assignment. They kept luring me into their office with promises of
exciting high-paying challenging jobs...only to be offered "go-pher"
jobs (they wanted me to work at a law firm where a female attornney
needed an assistant...with some personal assignments such as 'pick up
dry cleaning', etc.....I'm female...so I'm not being sexist but can
you just imagine being a female attorney's "personal" assistant
..... YIKES!!!).....
I kept telling these people I did not want a secreterial job. I am skilled at DTP and love doing that....not putting down admin. assistants here !!! Thats just not my forte. I even had one recruiter at ASA suggest I change the wording on my resume to make it look more like I was an assistant as opposed to Presentation Specialist or DTPublisher.. which is what I DO !!!!!
So, after turning them down a couple of hundred times....they gave up and never called me again.
If you want an admin. assitant/phone/clerical job...then this is the place for you. If not, don't waste your time.
