I am sure this may have been posted before. Why is it they will hire a recent college grad with a Masters degree in the study of the tsetse fly with no admin experience over an admin professional with 20+ years experience who can hit the ground running? Money? You are a "cute young" thing? More interested in planning partying with your friends than doing the "boring" aspects of the job? This is what I am competing with.
Also, why do some people think being an admin is easy?
Chikky feeling better and getting off the soapbox and returning to lurkdom.

Chikky, I think you will find that comes under the category of (and please do excuse the coarseness of the reply, I am quoting what I was told a long time ago) the 'leg over management school of employment'!

Jess. very funny.
Chikky, I feel your pain. Keep plugging away there - what's for you won't go by you is an apt phrase to remember here!
And please don't lurk too much, we like your posts!
