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???

  3. If you don't find the right person. I will cover for you until you do. You know I can do this stuff and handle all the rest of you girls with my eyes closed! But I CAN NOT cut in a straight line or glue in the center of anything. I can't do or produce anything crafty at all!

    But I love you all and would be happy to help you anytime.

  5. Hi there Emmy! I just found your blog..how did I miss it??? I love your planners...I too love a planner that I can write in and carry around with me. I read a few posts back and see that you are(or were) looking for someone to help make your days easier! I do not know if you have already found your person, but I am interested!I can spell:) and I do use spell check but I do not know how to use it on this comment form. So hopefully I did not make too many errors on this. I live local and think I can do the things that you need help with! I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon. Oh and by the way, I love Nordstrom for the same reasons you do. Valerie
