Hi!!
I am coming from a factory environment and really want to migrate more into working with people/working in an office setting to make everyone’s job/service more convenient.
As a 23 yr old in South Carolina, what are my best steps ??

I think that temp agencies are the best way to get your foot in the door for administrative/office work if you don't have any experience yet. A lot of those agency gigs can lead to part-time or full-time work

How are you with computers? Microsoft Word, Excel & PowerPoint? Those are crucial things to know when considering an office environment.

I do very well, I could of course use some brushing up but Microsoft Office always came easily to me.
I appreciate your feedback and I’ll keep this in mind while furthering my skills and job searching!

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.
