[quote=Anonymous]10:05 and 11:20 gave great advice. And I agree that entry level admin positions are more like mid-forties. We recently hired a new admin in my division at a large org in dc and I can tell you we received nearly a thousand applications. We stopped reviewing applications after we skimmed the first couple hundred, and we essentially didn't bother with resumes from more seasoned folks since the assumption is that older folks will either bolt as soon as they find something more lucrative whereas kids fresh out of college will usually stick around for a couple years before going to grad school (that's what most kids do...they come to dc for a couple years for some experience and fun before applying to gra school).  I think many orgs employ a similar mindset, so perhaps a career counselor can steer your husband to certain fields/types of employers.  And he should tell all of his friends and acquaintance that he is looking for a job and that he's willing to do admin work....anything to get in the door. Volunteering at a nonprofit doing admin support might get his foot in th door somewhere.  Best of luck to him! [/quote]
