I have been looking and applying for a job since January 2025, I do get some interviews, phone call, virtual, and in person, however I feel a little discourage at times.
I have a great deal of experience in the office setting, office admin/manager, bilingual, Notary Public, yet haven't found the right company where I can be a great fit. Am I missing something?

I think this job market is uniquely difficult, for one. So don't be too hard on yourself. But I also think you have to pay attention to what seems to be working and when you get rejected. Do you get interviews often? Do you make it past the first interview often? Where do you start to lose their interest? That's the pain point you want to address

I do go over the interview, and see if I can notice, or spot anything that might indicate an area of concern, however I end up with no conclusion. I fear that my status in the country may be a hindrance, however I still need to survive, take care of my child, and pay bills along with taxes as I have been doing since I started working from the age of 14.

If you’re really interested in part time job, kind text me your number for better conversation.

I don't know how to text you, however I did not know either I was not able to put my phone number on here, so I was flagged.

Just a matter of keeping your head up and keep trying. It took me a very long time to get the position I have now. Experienced that bait and switch where it’s actually a sales job instead, too! I think that’s another issue. A lot of these job listings aren’t hiring or are misleading.

Maybe find a class on interviewing skills or do online training. You might need help in that area if you’re getting interviews but not job offers.

Hey all, US born Tam Brahm here. Hope this isn’t too sensitive a topic to ask about, but for all those with deeper Indian roots than I do (born in or living in India), can you please explain why some people posit that even having this chat perpetuates the negative parts of a caste system? My perhaps naive perspective is that Brahmins are a caste but also a religious subsect. One can be religious and seek similar devotees without believing in or perpetuating caste hierarchy. Reductive or fair?

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?

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?

Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks
