Secretary job posting

As you may or may not know, I fired my secretary late last year and have been trying to take on all my blogging duties myself since then. It hasn't been easy for me and it also takes my time away from the high-level strategic decisions of running of a blog.


So, I have decided to put out a job posting for a new secretary. Do you know anyone who might be qualified? I plan to start interviewing folks in a couple of weeks.

- Open mail and send bearthday greetings in a timely manner

- Buy and prepare delicious snacks, not limited to cookies and hot chocolate
- Keep up-to-date on fellow stuffie blogs
- Troubleshoot website issues as needed
- Knowledge of WordPress, Blogger, HTML, CSS, and Photoshop
- Promote blog posts on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
- Generate ideas for contests and mail contest prizes
- Serve as copy editor for blog
- Personal bodyguard while on travel adventures
- Experienced photographer with proficiency in photo editing and enhancement

Salary

    Would the secrebeary have to relocate to where you are??? Because we can't possibly manage without Andrea you know. Nobody else knows where the good burgers are.

      Oh we can't possibly spare Andrea. She's pretty good to us and takes us to terrific eating places. Hope you get other applicants though. Goods humans are tough to find.

      I had the same question... I was thinking maybe I could trick... er... encourage my sekrebeary to apply. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a stuffie/human misalignment. You know... maybe your sekrebeary would do better with me and vice versa. But... I know mine isn't going to relocate! Good luck!!

      Which would suggest that when you hired your previous sekrebeary, they were pretty good... Maybe she just needs some counselling (or a holiday) or something to handle the stresses of life and get her priorities straight? You know? It can be harder to train someone new than to just tweak the one you have... Hmmm... must look into this for my own situation!

      It was a tough decision to let her go. I wonder how the new applicants will be...

      I think we should all implement a bonus system with ours... extra $$ for every blog post completed. Or maybe an incentive-based commission system.

    2. Ajdin AdilovicAugust 11, 2018 at 12:14 PM

      How about 15 cents per post? That sounds reasonable right?

    401k? Insurance? Hmm... these are all things I have to think about. It's tough being the boss.

    Have you considered hiring a cook and keeping your current sekrebeary on staff and relieving them of some of the cooking duties? I know you are a strict boss (firing your sekrebeary during the holidays) but maybe they are overwhelmed?
