Administrative and Office Support

I applied at a very Large Corporation. Everything went perfect, I was even told they stopped interviewing candidates after my interview and offered me a position, sent an offer letter and I was getting my background check.

When I applied, I hadn't updated my resume. It had a past date for my degree, but my degree was still in progress. I told the woman who interviewed me, and I emailed everyone who was in charge of my case that this was incorrect.

I got a call today that they are rescinding the job offer due to discrepancy of dates on my Degree. Had I put a future date, or no date it wouldn't have been an issue.

I just emailed the recruiter and the hiring manager my updated resume along with a note stating that I was still interested in any available positions should they come up.

The Recruiter responded almost right away with "Not a problem, thank you so much for your follow-up.
Good luck on your job search and have a great week!"

Do I have a shot? Or is my mistake too big?

I have been working with this company for the past 13 years, and I am in this new position for about 8 months now, and believe me it is just crazy, I have nothing to do.

I have been working for a small commercial printing business for almost 3 months. They have 18 full time employees, some have been there over 20 years. I am getting $14/hr and I know that they are being charged $21/hr from the temp service. They asked me what I wanted to get paid when hired. I told them I needed some time because there are a couple things I need to take into consideration. 1. They will offer me health benefits and they pay the full amount, which for my family would be atleast $1000/month, I don't need those because my husband carries our health insurance--therefore when I take that into account health benefits are equal to $5.77/hr. Also, I know that raises are very few and far in between. I am basically their office manager, human resource person, accts. payable & receivable, and of course payroll, and everything else. I would like to get $20/hr. But I know that seems a little steep. Please give some honest opinions. Also what will they be charged?

My friend's boss demanded that she give her cell phone number, and said that was in case when she was not at work (off the clock) and they want to call to tell her to do something when she gets into the office, so she can. Also she wants her to give it out to company clients for the same reason. So far she has said "no", and her boss told her this could lead to dismissal. And no, the company will not be paying any part of her cell phone bill, since it is her personal phone. (State of NJ, by the way, if that makes any difference.)

Hey, basically my job description was very misleading - it implied a very extensive, interesting range of tasks which make use of my skills, but instead this student office job consists of inputting numbers into spreadsheets and cellotaping bits of paper.

Recently, I had a random task added to my daily duties which involves collecting garbage and cleaning at some rubbish depot on site. I was shocked as although this job needs to be done, it should not be my responsibility and I find it quite demoralizing as my managers know i've been wanting some more challenging/helpful responsibilities in the office.

Also, a few people who have been there longer but still have the exact same position as me and work with me have not been given this job. My manager also refused to allow me to do some over-time in another of his departments.

What are my rights? This was not on the job offer/description I signed.

Stay or Go?
I've been working PT in a retail clothing store since February. I've been calling in for someone else to cover my shift last month. Like 2- 3 X's. My boss hasn't been scheduling me. I called her up and ask for some hours. She mention saying I kept calling for pepole to cover my shift that's why she hasn't been scheduling me. I told her next time she schedule I'll show up. I am working FT temporary right now and am going to college and just got an interview for a PT Receptionist job at a dealership. Pays much better, and has a set schedule for evening work. Should I give my two week notice or just stay?

When filing in a filing cabinet should papers be placed in folders so that you can view them up right when flipping through them, or should they be placed so when you take the file out of the cabinet you open the file like a book?

Does anyone know of a book that has the "how to" of filing?

Everyone always says i need a suit for interviews.
What if it's too hot for suits?
Don't some people wear khaki pants & short sleeved shirts?
Do some guys wear short sleeved dress shirts or light colored slacks?

I've seen it in a few movies and some youtube videos.

how important is it, to be social. do you need to be a social butterfly, or can you just speak when spoken to? I can do both, however, I want to be balanced, and I know that it can be done. I just need a push in the right direction!
Thanks for your help!!

I currently work as a HR Assistant in a clinical research organization and I recently received an increase of about 4% for my last year performance which overall was good! A receptionist who has about the same amount of experience as I do with no degree not only received a 4% increase but was also promoted to an HR Assistant role with an additional 4% increase, now making almost $3000 more then me. This has made me furious!! How can I approach my Director for a fair evaluation?? Or help her see my side without any threats. I currently need my job as I am planning on making some life changes.

I've had several problems with my personal assistant over the last 6 months and have addressed this with her several times. Today I had a meeting with her and told her over the next 30 days I will be reviewing her work and re-evaluating our business relationship. I feel so crappy about doing it. Haven't been sleeping well since I set up the meeting with her last week. Is this normal? (this is my first time as an employer)

I am not very loved at work... I eel that the other girls don't love me... first, I'm new, i've been working with them or three months and hey play the "know it all" and hey all wanna act as if they were my mnagers just because they have more exprience.. they're constantly looking after what I've done to make sure I haven't made mistaks (as if was dumb) . If I make a mistak they complain "why didn't you ask since you don't know" and if I ask they get annoyed and coplain that I ask too many questions


worse, one customer admitted he had a crush on me, and my co worker told everyone an told them who he is and everybody refuses to tell me who he is... they laugh and joke about it and I still don't know who he is

and I also try to be nice with customers... this girl said that I was flirting with some customer (who is about my father's age) and when I stood up to defend myself she was like "it's a joke"


why do they under estimate me and dislike me? what do I do ? :(

In my office, we have a new girl (less than 6 months on the job) and she repeatedly takes long breaks and lunches, and leaves early. I'm fairly certain our office manager is unaware of this and unaware that this girl is fudging on her timecard in order to get her 40 hours in. She also has a disregard for office policies, such as dress code, and I have voiced my opinion of that to the office manager, as well as informed the office manager of a 45 minute break last week that this girl took with another coworker. I don't want to look like I'm 'out for blood' but I don't feel like I should keep quiet when I know she's lying. What should I do???

Ok, I graduated from a good university..with a degree in international affairs. It's been 2 years, and I have realized it is extremely difficult to get into my ideal field..so right now I just want to gain some administrative experience. Why is it so hard to land a damn job?! I have been on probably 8 interviews in the past 8 months, and NOTHING! I mean, I am an extremely hard worker and all my previous employers would attest to this. But WHY is it so hard to get an entry level position? Granted, I have been dabbling in various different jobs (retail, restaurant) for the past 2 years while trying to figure out what I want to do, but now I want to actually start a career.

What am i doing wrong? I feel like so many employment places want someone who has a straight and narrow path towards their goals..and i just want to find something i'm passionate about WHILE gaining some practical experience.

How can I convince people that I am very hardworking and good enough for their company?
