[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people make the mistake of hiring recent college grads to be assistants rather than professional secretaries. They think that 22 year-olds with degrees from decent schools would like that opportunity to get their foot in the door. The reality is that these kids just spent a lot of time and money getting their degree and don't want what is perceived to be a lowly job. Now, you can argue that they shouldn't be so entitled, esp in this economy, but it's true. You hire these kids and they just won't be happy. [/quote] I agree. I know a lot of 40+ former SAHM's like me who would love to find an administrative position. We are mature and hard-working, but a lot of places will overlook us because we don't have recent office experience. [/quote]
