Finally decided that it was time to leave recently.
This is due to the receptionist on another floor being let go so they can make me the main point of contact for all 4 floors.
Quite sure I won't get a pay rise, I'm earning way below what I should be anyways. 😭

I'm trying to pivot to an office manager role, as I am an office and facilities assistant also...but everyone only wants me for an assistant or receptionist role. 😅

Main point of contact for 4 floors of an office building? No thank you! I hope you're able to find a company willing to give you a chance at the office manager role. Good luck on the job search!

It really does sound like it's time to find something better. I've seen things like that happen at companies, they get rid of someone and just expect other people to take on their duties. And it's all a cost-cutting measure, so of course they don't give anyone a raise. Get serious about finding a position elsewhere, you can do better for yourself.

It's definitely about cutting costs, and I've now realised how low I was being paid. 😭

I understand what was going on at the workplace. I was doing my job, the maintennance job, assistant property managers job, that I didn't have time to perform my Occupancy Specialist duties, so I had to quit. It was really hard doing 3 jobs a day. Now I go on these interviews, and the job description says one thing, then I go on the interview it had duties that aren't even listed, plus it one title with 2 jobs in one. Been there, done that, the office can do it thereself.

like

And let me guess? You were not paid to take on all these extra jobs because it's apart of your "role".
But they never mentioned it during the interview! 👀

Make sure your resume focuses on your office management experience and with much less emphasis on the receptionist parts.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
