I often hear the title assistant these days, for people who work for someone in an office. Is it the same as a good old-fashioned secretary?

I was turned down for a position 3 months ago, it was filled, and has now reopened. I love everything about the position, and the company. I know that given my personality, skills, and experience compared to job description and duties that I can offer a wealth of value to the company and the position. I told the HR person this in a cover letter. Do you think they might reconsider me as a candidate?

I also have another question...

I'm looking into applying at the 3 Loblaws stores near me...so I found out the manager's names and stuff...

So on my cover letter, do I include their names, or would that be too personal?

Some bosses are really conceited and treat you badly,even if you are smart. I don't want to transfer jobs because I feel they are everywhere.

PLEASE I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TONITE!!! 60K Sony job or UT Austin Masters????

I got a job offer for 60K/yr as a logistics analyst in south NJ (Pitman). I had been terminated 6 mos. back from my last consulting job for a tiny company after barely 2 mos, but after looking for work for a while I kinda gave up and got myself admitted into the Masters in Accounting program at UT Austin. Now after 1 month into my new program one of the companies I had interviewed 40 days back and they finally offerred me 60K for a job. I feel that if I was in a finance/ accounting to begin with I wouldnt have to wait for so long to get another job. SO what do you all think...should I continue in the accounting masters or take up the job? I have substantial scholarships for the MAcc program . On the other hand the salary is 60K. WHich would be better in the long run? PLEASE HELP AS I CANNOT MAKE UP MY MIND!!!!!!
