Job interview today.

Quote:
The main requirement in my job is versatility. On any given day, I could be doing expense reports, scheduling meetings, organizing lunch reservations, reaching out to a new company, stonewalling a company that we don't want to meet with, looking over PowerPoint presentations, entering numbers into an Excel sheet, and (to be perfectly honest) any of dozens of other jobs. The person who takes this job should be well-skilled in Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. They should be well-versed in how to research on the Internet. A good phone manner is also important, as this position comes into contact with the top executives at new media companies.
I managed to work six months in this job, and do a relatively good job at it, without knowing virtually anything about the business side of what my bosses do, or the products they work with. A willingness to learn this industry is extremely helpful, but not vital. What is more important is the ability to prioritize, as you are working for five very energetic people who all are working tremendously hard. Grace under pressure is a requirement for anyone who expects to last for longer than a week.
For my part, I got to the office every morning at around 8:00AM and left at around 6:00PM. I found that this was the way to keep the day at a pace I was happy with. I would expect that this job can be done well in far fewer hours, but it would be at a more hectic pace.
Sounds like a freakin' blast. Wish me loads of luck.

If you dont belive me just take a look at any of the adverts in any British paper. Opening up todays newspaper .....
" Vacancy for a Kitchen Hand.
Are you passionate about washing dishes? Does the sounds of the kitchen combiner make your blood pulse race higher? Do you find mental and spiritual devotion from scrubbing dirty trays and pans? If the answer is yes to all these question – read on!
We need a talented and dedicated individual to join our team in our Londons prestigious restaurant. You must have at least 5 years of hands on dish scrubbing experience and posses at least one of the following professional qualifications: SSKWQ (shit stained kitchen warrior qualification), LMBASA(lick my bosses arse society award) or ICSDCWMTIA(I can scrub dishes clean with my tongue industry award).
Duties include 15 hour labor intensive split shifts of scrubbing kitchen utensil, and getting kicked in the ass by the chefs if they find a dirty spot. You are also responsible for scientific mix making of cleaning agents with water: the formula has to be just right, otherwise it will melt you rubber gloves and you will loose all skin on your hands…
Please send your CV and cover letter at least 2000 words and tell us why you think you’re the right candidate for this position. We hope to see you in our restaurant.
Ps. We will require at least 5 references from all your employers for the last 50 years."
Thats the kind of shitty job adverts we get here.

Goodluck OMR - I have held anumber of well paying lackey jobs - i can multitask (having been forced to) so your job sounds great/terrible.
$17/hr is good cash - I wish I had that kind of money to play with.
Currently, after being out of work for 14 months - I work in a place that rehibilitates people with "barriers to employment" be it a violent past / drug addiction/ extreme poverty, etc. I make $12/hr - wake up at 5:40 am, have no health insurance, and if I didnt have a good network, id be out on the street.
BUT - I do, so I work part time, pay less taxes, have enough change left over from paying for food and bills to buy my retardly expensive vices and a new pair of shoes every 2 months. I have lackied for the best of them, from Goldman Sachs on down - but now I make a difference in society, and sleep well at night - albiet with the help of my drugs. OoD

Hey OMAR, yeah the first thing I thought when I read the descrption is: "stress." But 17 an hour is a pretty good wage and if it helps you survive comfortably then sounds worth it to me, as long as you don't feel your soul beginning to corrode.
Sounds like it's an awesome opportunity that could open other doors. Hope you fro'd some sense into them.
