Job Wanted for my Daughter

arbud · Feb 3, 2018

Hello,
If you are in a position to hire you might want to consider my daughter as a candidate.
4 year degree from University of MD College Park
Is 26 years old and is working for the past 2 years as the General Manager of a Jiffy Lube in Towson. She gets her hands dirty every day believe me.
Lives in Towson and does not need to travel 40 miles to work.
Is currently making 39,000.00 plus benefits so must stay in that ballpark
Is looking for an administrative assistant type of situation, or personal secretary. Types very well and is well educated with all things on a computer.
Anyway, not to be a jerk to anyone trying to help, but not looking for "they are hiring at Westinghouse in Glen Burnie". If you are the person who hires and she may sound like a good fit PM me and I will have her get in touch with you. She has a resume and I will stay out of it at that point
Thank you.

What is her degree in ?

arbud · Feb 3, 2018

English but does not want to be a teacher

A friend of mine works for a "staffing and HR company" not far from there. Would you like me to get her business email and your daughter could go direct?

arbud · Feb 3, 2018

That would be nice. I will pm you her email address. Thanks

May be worth also thinking about enlisting in the military if she is able to do that. May be able to get to OCS with the degree and get a commission and if not have the GI bill to pay for a masters when she gets out.

Has she thought about Federal Gov? There are a lot of vets ahead of her, but if she pesists, her 4 year degree will work for her as many vets tend to qualify at lower starting grades. It took my daughter(4 year deg. WVU) a few tries, but finally managed to get in. If you work hard, generally you shoot up pretty rapidly. My girl is a GS 12. It probably only took her 10 years to get there.

Go in the military, become an officer, live well, retire in 20 years and get paid for the rest of your life. It worked for me. Retired at 45 and never need to work another day. Something to think about.

Living in MD, I agree with federal agency or going into military as an officer. Keep trying. Can be very difficult to get in. Knowing somebody on the inside helps greatly. My wife went into PHS as O-3 with lots of experience. Took 10 years to make O-6. 9 years to go until full pension. Possibility of O-7 before then. Both of my next-door neighbor's girls are Navy officers.

Does she have any exposure to contracting? I work in that field and we could use an entry level office assistant for our Capitol Heights office.

My niece will be opening a new motel on 43 in Middle River/White Marsh. I don't know what jobs are available but I can ask if you think she'd be interested in something like this.

I’d also say have her look at the OPM web site. My wife’s sisters kid applied for a contracting position with no experience and he got it solely based on his degree. Started as a GS-9 now a 13. Once hired takes an act of God to get fired.

It should also be noted that secretaries and office assistants are disappearing in the private sector.

In the sense of someone who types and handles correspondence. There is always going to be a place for the lady who makes sure that the limo is booked along with the jet charter.

The position I am suggesting won't disappear. It is a solid firm that has been in place since 1932.

Depends on your status. (Contract/term/career conditional/career/etc...)

Yes, for the high level executives and your political class. But the general secretary and such are disappearing. Even receptionists are going away. Managerial position is a better career path with more opportunity than a secretary. I would look for an HR position before secretary. The few secretaries I know are having HR duties pushed on them to help argue that the position is necessary, even the executive personal assistant.

What about a county employee position? They get excellent benefits.

Glad I dropped out!

Tell her to look at the PO. Worker bee 50K ish, Boss 70-95K. Most bosses don't have any college. Now, a bosses boss is 150K+
