I'm down to my last 10 dollars. Got laid off in May. Unemployment hasn't compensated me. No one will hire me because of my age. Can't fully retire for another year. I have to move out of where I am by October. I just keep praying for a miracle. I'm determined to believe that God is going to make this situation better. Does anyone know of any jobs where I don't have to be on my feet all day? I've been an administrative assistant my whole life. I can type 70 wpm, and know Microsoft office.

- Be on time for your interview. GPS the location ahead of time. You may even want to do a test drive the day before.
- Research the company you are interviewing with. The more you learn about the company and what they do the better prepared you will be.
- Dress professional. No jeans, sneakers, etc. Wear a suit or a nice skirt and blouse. No jeans, sneakers or sandals. If you don't have anything to wear borrow from a friend.
- Bring a copy of your resume. Yes, you may have sent it to them, but sometimes they won't have it in front of them.
- Be prepared to take a skills assessment test. This may include a typing test. Review basic skills ahead of time.
- Shake the interviews hand if they extend their hand. Make eye contact and pay attention. Speak clearly and load enough for the interviewer to hear you.
- Keep your answers short. Practice answering questions ahead of time with a friend.
- Always be positive. Even if you didn't like your last job explain you are looking for a better opportunity. Don't bad mouth your previous employer or company.
- Be prepared with references. Yes, they will ask.
- Smile and be confident.


I just got offer to work with VCU Health Foundation as an Administrator Assistance.

The pay is not the greatest, the therapists are amazing, the paid holidays are great...too many "bosses". I loved my job there. But they don't care how dedicated you are if they feel the need to get rid of you..they will. As a right to fire state, there's nothing you can do about it and they know it.

I’m looking for some type of bookkeeping, AP, AR, Accounting tech position


Although I have had extensive experience, at a high level (and salary), I don't think employers understand why I want an administrative job. My husband is in a nursing home, and I have a great need to supplement our income.

Hi all! My company is currently trying to fill in a couple of administrative positions. We are small environmental company (check out our web www.ctsiweb.com).

I am an office manager and will train and oversee your work. :)
