look for an entry level it job. they are out there. i interviewed a few people for one about a year ago, and wanted someone with NO experience so they could be trained to do it right.

I am a bit confused by your posting.  Do you mean you were looking for a job, or rather you are seeking someone with those qualifications?

I can relate mate. I got an office job a couple of months ago (I'd never worked in an office either) - and I noticed how different it was. It's too enclosed and suffocating - I've gotten used to it recently though (it's still not my 'thang' though). I'm thinking of sticking it out for about a year.\n\nIf you can, get some experience under your belt (as much as you can, 6 months is a good amount of time) and then move on - at least you'll have that office experience (in case you ever need it in the future). \n\nIn the meantime - look for jobs you'd want to do and work towards getting one of them (maybe pursue something in your spare time that is linked to the kind of job you want).\n\nIf this is too painful, quit and take the car job - it's important that you are happy! =)

Write a killer resume. Send it directly to companies you want to work for. Don't wait for a want ad. Ask everyone you know, Call your former employer - see what references you get.\n\nJump IN! Don't wait for the tide - swim!

I know it sucks, but try to make youself stay until you find something else. It is easier to find a job when you already have one. Employers see that you have a job so they know you are responsible and just wanting to improve yourself by learning a new job and moving up.I hate my job too. If I let it, it really makes me miserable. While you are still at the bad job focus on doing things outside of work that make you happy.\n Good Luck.

If you are willing to start at a lower level you may have to "dumb down" your resume, meaning lower your experience and responsibilities. When I switched jobs I had to do that so they would stop telling me I was overqualified for everything.

Quite simply... respect. I've had some lousy bosses in the past... and if you can't get a new job, it's not a bad way to go. Strive to do your best, and eventually, people will take notice. However, if you work for a small firm, where your boss happens to also be the CEO... I would go looking for a new job, immediately. But before you do, it NEVER hurts, just to sit down, and in a CALM and RESPECTFUL manner. Ask you boss for some leeway. Maybe suggest a "Trial Period" of a week or so. Just to see how productivity increases or decreases with out him breathing down your neck.

Find out everything you can about the company. In interviews they like to ask questions to see what you know about them. Think about the questions they ask for a few seconds and don't answer them right off the top of your head. If you can go by and see how the current employees are dressed and gear your outfit towards that. Don't wear perfume. Be able to list your top 3 strenghts and weaknesses. They will probably ask why you think you are the best candidate for the position, so be prepared to sell them on why they should hire you. Being a secretary requires that you have good people skills and can deal with all types of personalities. The one question I hate is when they ask "Where do you see your self in 5 years?" Know what you put on your resume because they will ask questions regarding what you put down and ask you to describe what you've done in the past. Be professional.

You might want to lower your standards and start with a job that doesn't need all your qualifications, and doesn't pay as much as you want. keep sending out resumes, though. ou never know when someone will need exactly whatyou've got. 3 1/2 years is a big gap. what have you been doing in that time?

either would work, just make sure your resume is geared towards the kind of work you want.

Sorry.  I would suggest you keep researching or call up some job agencies and get a better description of what a potential employer would look for in an assistant.  Find out what type of background you nee and what type of personality is best suited for that particular line of work.  The agency should be able to help you answer these questions and/or introduce you to someone who has or is  working in that field,

You may want to go through a staffing agency that specializes in personal assistants and executive assistants. It definitely won't happen right away, you need years of experience and will have to work your way up. I've seen some ads for executive assistants that call for 5-10 years experience!

Fine tune your resume to meet the qualifications of the position.  Rearrange the skills to make the applicable ones more prominent at the top.\n\nAnd definitely continue to apply, if you're not picked for an interview.  Make sure you have written performance evaluations and understand the new position requirements fully.  Sometimes the grass isn't always greener, it's just a reflection of our thoughts..... \n\nGood luck..

I worked as an account manager at an IT company for a while.  We had some difficulty feeling spots since we only did high level positions, but I think some of what they did was wrong.\n\nbut what you could do is...\nwhen you have a candidate, tell them you need references, then call the references to ask about the person and start to talk about them and their career goals.  you could find out they could be a candidate and probably have more experience than the 1st person.  you can get their resume and store it for when you need it.  or you could find out about other openings\n\npost jobs on places like craigslist where it doesn't cost to post to collect resumes to store\n\nkeep using the same candidates who are good and build a relationship with them.  they will start to refer people to you
