This is a “needle in a haystack” search!  Do you know someone who might be both qualified and interested?

The owner of this small, but well-established business needs a personal administrative assistant.  Approximately 15 hours per week, some of which will be worked onsite at the owner’s office during business hours and some of which may be worked from your home office.

This person is a very successful entrepreneur.  That’s where he excels!  But he does not excel at formatting letters, preparing reports, or using his technology efficiently.  And that’s where he needs the excellence of a personal administrative assistant.

Our client’s ideal candidate is:

IE8 fix

If you recently installed Internet Explorer 8, you may have noticed an annoying new “security warning” pop up when you access certain websites.  It’s especially prominent on sites such as twitter, where one frequently clicks from page to page with variable layers in terms of security.

Here’s a link to a “fix” that allows mixed content from a security standpoint.  Simple instructions with screenshots to illustrate.

Just keep in mind that this fix is a change to the general internet settings for your browser.  So it will allow mixed content from any site.

Insider Tip on job aggregating sites

Almost every applicant I meet uses one (or more) of the major job boards for their employment search.  Monster, careerbuilder, or hotjobs, to name just three.

Some people are understandably hesitant about creating accounts, posting résumés, and applying this way for the openings on job boards.  Many cite worries about the confidentiality of their search (especially if still employed).  Most don’t want to be hassled by certain companies that “mine” these databases for commission-only sales targets.  For these reasons and others, many jobseekers take advantage of the aggregating websites, where job advertisements are harvested from multiple sites and rebroadcast together on one site.  Most of these aggregating sites don’t require you to register an account and they simplify having to individually travel to all of those other sites.  What’s not to like about that??

Can you guess the most common – but unintentional – flaw I’ve noticed in the résumés we receive via aggregating websites?
