How do you feel about positions that have NEVER existed before? Any pros or cons? Positions that the employer is creating because they really need help with certain tasks and so they are forced to make a brand new position. I have had 2 different positions (administrative assistant and a marketing coordinator) in 2 different companies and they did not turn out well. Again, these roles did not exist before I joined the team. Thoughts?

I personally love them but anyone taking one of those roles needs to be comfortable in ambiguity and shaping things because if it’s brand new, there is no playbook. It’s also important to ensure expectations are super clear as a result

That's how I got my first paid pos in awhile. It only lasted five months though. It was a great experience overall!

They're a gamble. Maybe you'll get to do something you genuinely come to enjoy. More likely you'll become the person they throw random tasks at because no one knows what you actually do. 0/2 is a trend worth paying attention to. I'd also add that if these are built around repetitive tasks, you should be even more leery. That's the sort of thing companies are using AI for at scale. If there's any way for them to be automated, they will be, and you'll be out of a job.

It's good to be wary of positions like that, as anything could happen once things get rolling. I'm sure some newly created positions work out well for people, but there probably has to be some awareness of setting boundaries. If you can get a detailed job description before accepting an offer that would be highly advisable.
