OT: Hiring
« on: September 04, 2012, 09:56:14 AM »
I need an assistant at my other job (attorneycat).  This person would spend a good amount of time shadowing me and learning a good chunk of what I know as it applies to this area of law and our office, and learning how to see things I do and get crap done.  Basically a problem-solver.  At some point, this person would effectively be an office manager and would also serve as my physical presence in the office while I work remotely nearly all the time.

Who I imagine this being a good position for would be a smart grad or soon-to-be grad (preferably goEMAW'r whose past posts I can evaluate) that maybe went through school but in a major that doesn't lead to the typical :kstategrad: job and is open to getting into something new.  I expect that people who graduate in operations management could find a much more degree-specific job than this, but I feel like there'd be a lot of operations management involved here (or at least there should be).

I don't know; basically from either your posts or a quick pak I can quickly judge you and figure out if I can quickly mentor you to do this.  I don't think it would be that tough for either of us.  Job would be full-time in Wichita.

Post here or PM for more details.

Also note that this time, you will not find this same OT thread on GPC.

Oh, yeah.  All usual benefits that go with a full-time career job.  As for pay, I'm not sure.  It won't be great to start, but it's a position where if you take my lead and do a typical EMAW job, you'll quickly make yourself invaluable and the pay situation can probably be remedied.  I imagine I'd find somebody on my own and then pitch them and a good starting salary to the office.  I'm winging this as it's a unique scenario that's developed.

Well, I'd kind of be a hypocrite to say that can't ever happen, but I'd expect sd-like efficiency and everything being in great shape before I see the person combo-fanning it up.

If Fanning can do it from KC, there is probably a lesser chance of losing a sexual harassment lawsuit than him doing it in Wichita.  But your still most definitely getting that lawsuit either way.

No, and you're not qualified anyway.

For others considering this position, understand that there is at least a baseline of fanning that is far outside the qualification window.

Professional fanning is a sight to see. I can really fool some people, Trim.

I'm pretty great at paking, probably way overqualified.  Also, I'm not sure about the limited BBSing opportunities this job would provide.  Seems like you are hiring someone to do your stuff so you'll have more time to BBS at work, while being able to directly monitor and mod his or her BBSing.

The assistant won't be doing any of the work I do, or at least should be doing.  Sometimes I currently have to do some stuff that the successful applicant would do because others are dropping the ball.  The long-term plan is that I'll be working remotely from a faraway location, and need an intelligent person who can be my physical eyes and ears in the office, which is why the person would be shadowing me - not to learn to do what I'm doing, but to think like I do and then apply that to their role.  DNGAF how the job gets done, so long as it's done.  If bbs'n is part of the job getting done, so be it.

Why do you need a physical presence?
