Hiring an assistant - Part 1: Posting the Job

I need help. Good, affordable help with impeccable spelling and a great attitude. So I decided to use WorkNola to find my perfect assistant. I did get some really great applicants but I also got things like this:

“My name is [name respectfully edited out] and I am looking for an opportunity. The opportunity that I am looking for is one that is going to allow me to become successful. The opportunity that I am looking for is one that is going to allow me to help you become more successful. That is why I am writing you to express my interest in a position within your company.”

I also got some surprising applicants that ranged from bank tellers to law students to someone with a PhD.

More to come as this debacle unfolds…
