Administrative and Office Support

I have a job interview next week. Can you give me some good questions to ask? It's a job that I'm totally qualified for, but I worry that maybe I'll be even over-qualified (and bored?) I need some good questions to ask.

Is it inappropriate to ask how they do performance reviews? I found out the hard way that my review at my current job is NOT based on performance, you only get whatever percentage the company gives everyone. So basically the person next to me got the same raise that I did and she is never here (calls in sick, leaves early) and has been written up SEVERAL times.

Thanks for any ideas you can give me!

I'm being sent to an office job by an agency and I've never worked at an office before. They said the attire is "casual" or "office casual", what kinds of clothing is that exactly? Can I wear jeans? I was thinking about wearing jeans with a long-sleeve, button up dress shirt, would that be ok?

I know that eventually I will find a job as long as I keep on looking. Its just taking its toll on me, to go to job interviews without success. I guess my question is how do I regain my energy and strength to keep on with my search

I'm leaving my current job in a week to start on a new position. Before accepting the new position, i've planned a 2 week vacation with my parents, but I forgot to mention that on the interview and when I accepted the job. Should I still go on the trip or should I even bother asking my new employer if it's ok or should I just cancel the trip-I'm scared that If I go on vacation 2 weeks after starting on a new job, that I won't have the job when I come back.

Also, i've been waiting for my boss to come in to the office so I can give her my resignation, but She hasn't been into the office-is it ok if I send her my resignation via email? or phone? please help

I can't just up and leave. I am stuck! Should I ask to get full time or should I just go? I have been here for 2 years and no change.

I have an interview later today. I am pretty psyched as the company recently opened a call center about 2 blocks from my house, but I'm also pretty apprehensive. I have had to call Comcast several times in the past and the employees I have dealt with were usually extremely rude and a little less than well versed. Any insight about working there?

Also, they require 2 to 2 1/2 hours for the interview process with "testing". What kinds of tests do you have to go through? Do they actually test your computer skills? Oral and written skills?

What can I expect?????

When you don't have the degree for a job, your not qualified, but when you do get the degree, it's still not enough.

I have always worn pantyhose with my skirt suits for work each day at the office. Needless to say, with me dressing that way, my hubby developed a pretty intense curiousity about it. As I was getting ready for work one day, I asked him what the fascination was and he told me that he found it alluring and sensual when I wear pantyhose and that he was curious to experience that feeling. So I hiked up my skirt, eased out of my sheers, handed them to him, and told him to slip them on. I let him keep them on for a few minutes and he went absolutely crazy over the way they felt, which I thought was kind of neat.

Now hes asked a few more times recently for me to let him wear them again. I don't want to deny it to him because of how fascinated he is and how much he liked it that one time. I'm thinking if I can limit it to a few minutes around the time we go to bed, we could have fun with it. Was I wrong to do this? How should I handle this?

I am a very experienced Admin Assist, working towards my BS, but I recently earned my AA and was wondering can that earn me more money? Or is my AA just a 'no increase in pay' stepping stone?

I accepted a job at a local dealership as an accountant. The pay is $35,000 to start & I have to work Monday thru Friday, 8-6, & every other Saturday 10-5. When I interviewed with the current controller & her boss, they explained that I would eventually take over the current controller's position. However, I have been there two weeks, & I have ascertained that the current controller is a TOTAL CONTROL FREAK. She has wanted me to do deposits, book deals, etc, basically the stuff the clerk does. She refuses to show me anything she does on a daily basis. Now I realize I have been there only two weeks, but I have worked for a dealership before doing the same thing. She also set up the accounting system & it must be followed EXACTLY as she has it. She lets me know daily mistakes I have made. I really do not think this lady will leave & if she does, is she going to give me autonomy or micro manage me? I think the job gives her purpose & also did I mention she is the gf of the owner?? Advice?

When I was first hired here I was hired as the receptionist all I did was answer calls. As the course of the years now I have taken on many different duties.

Such as keeping the company Presidents agenda and screening all his calls.

Coordinate all of my company’s travel which my company consist of very intensive travel (RACE SUPPORT) I handle all hotel agreements and corporate accounts.

Order all of the office & kitchen supplies.

Handel some HR forms for new hires.

And answer all the over flowing calls still.

Right now my job title is Admin assistant/ Travel is that correct?????
