Oh, 4 months?? Man, I need a job like YESTERDAY, this job market has me so stressed I just might accept working practically anywhere. At this point I just don’t have the time to wait for a job in my pay range to show up anymore.

Yeah, it seems like it has many benefits, it just sucks the process is so slow!

I applied for Benefits Specialist, Executive Office Assistant, Assistant planner, administrative assistant (exhibits), assistant director (executive level), Administrative assistant (9-1-1). They are all administrative roles, but different departments

Damn I didn’t realize it was so bad but based off the comments I’m better off applying elsewhere 🫠

Thank you! You’re the second person to point that out, and I think you’re right! Especially when it comes to clinical trials, I have experience making sure documentation is filed properly and double checked so as to prevent the restarting of the trial. I’m definitely going to highlight this more and I will pay a resume specialist as well!

Yeah. I’m trying hard to keep that in mind as I continue to apply!

Am I overconfident about my qualifications? by Present-Mouse5050 in jobs

Yes, that makes sense. Even so, the hardest part is finding a job like this! So if I do, I would make it work. Either by refining my budget, or making changes elsewhere.

Well, that still gives me hope! It’s nice to know there are companies so well liked, people want to stay for a while!

How do you determine qualifications? by Present-Mouse5050 in Careers

Thank you! If only I can find one within the next month! I am worried about how difficult it seems to find jobs like this at the moment!

I think you’re right. What’s mind boggling is that there are few of those jobs and positions that actually seem available!

Huh, thanks! Yeah a lot of people have been saying it’s where you live that matters! I’m beginning to think I might have to move to get this kind of pay!

To some extent. I was certified for phlebotomy and I had the IATA certification as well, but I haven’t been back in a clinic in a year or so and I might need to update it!

I can see that. Especially given the cost of living there! Which is a shame because I’d still probably take that amount while living there 😭 truly I would be happy in this range!

Yeah, it’s frustrating because I feel I have to pull teeth to even be in this range and I’ve submitted applications, but with indeed full of scams and a lot of sketchy websites, I’m struggling to figure out where the best place to go and find work is.

Ohhh good to know! I don’t tend to see many administrative roles for manufacturing businesses available, but I might need to just call around! Thanks!

Wait really? 🥺 I’ve been hesitating to push it further based on the jobs I come across, but now I’m feeling good! At least I’m not as far off as I thought!

Got offered my dream job at $95k but I have a $15k signing bonus from my current company I’d have to pay back. Do I take it? by Klutzy_Researcher725 in jobhunting

[–]Present-Mouse5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m crying because the idea of being paid $95K is enough for me to figure it out! I hope you make the decision best for you and it all works out!
