Is this a joke?

Is this a joke? This is normally an Executive Assistant level position that would pay 90-100K in most reputable companies. A "luxury" company that can't afford more than 25K with no benefits? Yeah, suuuuure. Administrative Assistant to the President, 25K (Chelsea) We are looking to hire an Administrative Assistant to The President and CEO of a Luxury Hospitality Company. This position will also include answering the phones/receptionist work. Must be an extremely thick-skinned individual who is able to work independent of constant supervision in a high-pressure environment for a very demanding boss. Almost anyone can answer phones; we need someone who can handle a large personality and keep him on task. The qualified person should have general office skills such as organization, scheduling, reception, communication, Microsoft Office skills and ACT. Knowledge of Mac based programs is a plus. Must be a quick learner, able to multi-task, and have a clear and professional 'phone voice'. Hospitality experience is a plus. The hours are 9-6 pm. Starting salary is $25K, no benefits.

$100K!!!!????? Try 50. Unless it's actually a very large corp. That ad was probably some set of urban uberdouches with a tiny co.

[spino]

Agreed. This Ain't No $100K Job. Not Even.

[rodine]

It would be to a CEO There's no such thing as an admin asst to the CEO. At that level to the top brass, it's executive assistant and that comes with many years of experience of being a gatekeeper and handling Alpha-type personalities. People like that don't come cheap and don't even pretend to tell me otherwise. Unless, it's a shitty, tiny company of uberdouches, an executive asst with experience commands a premium salary.

Whomever U R, Get Used to the Idea That I'm The headhunter and you are not. That is not a $100K job. You just think it is.

[crim]

You Can Do Anything You Want To Do. I said it is not a $100K job. I did not say someone may erroneously pay more. Since you think 'pedigree' does not count any more, that being in jail is possibly better than being unemployed and you talk to women about having 'bunched up panties', I don't find you to be the most enlightened person on the block and I'll certainly not debate Compensation and Job Description issues with you. Go back to the Sports forum where no one cares if you know what you are talking about. And have another Coors Lite while flipping through those $100K jobs. Maybe you can go 'metrosexual' and snag one. pf

I had no idea that you were so familiar with my body of work. I didn't even think of digging through your litany of mouse droppings. But, I'm flattered that you inspected all of my writings with such care and precision. Isn't there an AA meeting for you to get to?

[hayslip]

Unlike Yourself, I Do My Research. Now you do have an idea. Run with it.

[shawver]

I didn't know being a pompous ass required research, but you are good at it. Also, if you feel the need to make personal attacks instead of reasoned arguments, then maybe debate isn't your forte.

This reminds me of a place where I worked in NYC. The boss was a crazy man, a bit of a lunatic some said, but his gatekeepers made BIG bucks, NOT $25K. Had personal phones, travel, etc covered too....even living space. These people weren't true admin assistants, but more like personal assistants, and were pretty much at his beck and . And when he travelled overseas, they travelled too. Someone mentioned that one of his assistants used to carry his briefcase home for him. Don't know if it was true. I never saw it myself. But anyway, the place was a bit of a circus. We were all paid well, to tell you the truth.

[Ravi]

poverty level it says 25k Chelsea. In NYC you'd die after a week making that little money.

[heng]

BUhahaha!!!! I got a bridge to sell 2U $100,000 for being a EA. Are you on crack? And if you did find a job opening on the job site that did offer that, they are full of Sh*t! Jobs are going for $50,000 tippy top. It is more like $25,000 - $30,000 if you are lucky now days.

[tung]

Yeah, this is a joke... I'm an executive assistant in Boston and have supported CEO's, CFO's and VP's. Current salary to support one VP is $77K + 5K bonus = $82,000 a year and I have about 10 years of experience. Sounds like this company is trying to pull a fast one with this $25K crap. You can't even get a receptionist for that salary in Boston.
