what does quick books experience means?
I am looking for administrative assistance jobs where can I go for related courses to get job?
what else I need to know for this kind of job ?
I am in SJ ,CA if you know where to go for classes and any recruiting companies or sites to find a job.
From last few weeks I have applied online for lots of Jobs with a proper cover letter. I did not even get one interview.
I have tried monster, Craig list ,hot jobs and other similar websites no results.
why am I not getting calls. I am only applying to jobs where my experience match. Does online works to find a job. I am little disappointed but hoping to find a decent job.
I will highly appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you.

Where did you last go to school? Can you use their career center? Go to your Department of Labor.
Call employment agencies - several of them. Even if you don't get a full time job you could at least get something part time or maybe an assignment that lasts a few weeks. You'll meet people and pick up skills.
Keep applying on line, but don't have that be the only way you find stuff. Use newspapers - the free ones and the main ones for your metro area. Go to job fairs. Look on bulletin boards.

Quick Books is an accounting software. It's not hard to learn, but most places expect experience coming in.
Any good community college should have some courses that will provide you the skills to land a good admin job.
California is a bad job market right now. If you have the capability, I recommend a move - the hot spots for jobs right now are Denver, CO, Austin, TX, Jacksonville, FL, Orlando, FL, and Atlanta, GA.

Quickbooks is an accounting software. It is fairly common for employers to ask for experience in this program. For an administrative assistant position, I hope you have data entry, scheduling, and phone experience. Microsoft Office experience is also very helpful. For Quickbooks, you can easily take a course at a local community college. I know what you mean...searching for a job in the Bay Area can be tough. Try Chabot, De Anza, or Ohlone Colleges. I am confident at least one of them has a QuickBooks course..and all of them offer Microsoft Office courses. Good luck.

The best way to apply for a job is in person. Look in the paper, call then set an appointment. Another good place to go is a temp agency, such as Kelly Services. They can match you with someone, then if they like you, usually they will hire you away from Kelly. As far as quick books, ar you sure it is not Quicken...a financial spred sheet application?
Good Luck!

Get Quick Books. Once, when I couldn't find a job I just called all the places in the phone book who might hire for the position I was looking for. I got to "D", got an interview, and hired! Good luck.

phone up the reference desk at your local library and ask them if there is a careers resource center in your area --like a place that helps people prepare for jobs. that might help.
also --maybe write out a list of what you want in a job if you could have anything. is there anything you've always wanted to do? that helped me. . .
best of luck

Don't just phone. Go to a prospective work place in person. Also, dress how you would if you were going to start working there right when you walk in. Be confident in the interview, and look the interviewer in the eye.

Hi, are you good at talking to people about their problems, especially talking with parents about their children? There are many parents who would like to get help for tackling all sorts of problems they have with their kids, right from infants and toddlers to teenage children. They would welcome any assistance they could get.
If you think you might be interested in this sort of work, please write in.

quickbooks is a program that keeps track of invoicing, purchasing and payroll. It has many other things but you have to have access depending on your job description.
