Wanted: Someone to Make my Life Bearable

I got 8 hours of sleep last night.  8.  I feel like a new woman.

So now I can seriously tell you that I need an Assistant.  I have many employees who are amazing and make it possible for me to continue taking orders when we have 68 in the queue.  But I need someone that can take over the busy work of running a business and allow me to actually make calendars.

I have already gotten several emails from interested parties, so I thought I should formally let you all know that I am serious about needing an Assistant.  And here's what I am looking for:

First of all, it needs to be someone that is local and could actually come into my office in South Orange County, California.

I need someone that could come Monday - Friday for about 2 to 3 hours a day.  Somedays may be a little more... some may be a little less {especially during our slower season}.

You would be responsible for:

• Printing out orders from Etsy
• Confirming orders with customers
• Following up with customers that we need more information from
• Entering the orders in our database
• Updating the database everyday with what was completed the day before
• Tracking orders
• Answering emails {this means you need to be able to compose a legible email that is free from spelling and grammatical errors.... I am picky about this}
• Printing calendars for open orders
• Printing tabs for open orders
• Tracking supplies and placing ordering as necessary
• Preparing orders for shipment

It is all quite simple stuff... it is just the stuff that gets me very bogged down and stuck at the computer.  I think that someone else could probably get done in 2 hours what takes me 5, because I get interrupted a lot.

Now, here are the less-official requirements:

• You must have a good sense of humor!  We like to have fun in this office and being okay with teasing and sarcasm is a must.
• Jennifer says that you cannot have an annoying laugh.  She holds "Annoying Laugh Veto Power".
• You need to be confident enough to answer easy questions on your own, but smart enough to know when you can't.
• You cannot be too sensitive for yelling.  Sometimes I yell.  Mostly at computers and printers and rarely at employees... but it happens.

If you are interested, or know someone that might be, please send me an email at info@muchadoaboutyou.com.  Then be patient with me while I try to find the time to respond to you.

Who wouldn't want to join this motley crew???
