Here’s an update you on our search for a new “Receptionist / Office Assistant”

We finally hired somebody! 

She has NO mortgage or real estate experience at all, but she has the right “friendly and outgoing” personality, and as I said in my previous posts, that is the most important quality we are looking for.

We can train somebody to do the job, but we can’t fix their personality!

It took more than a month and wading through more than 100 resumes to find the right person, but it’s always better to take your time to find the perfect person for the job rather than settle for “almost good enough.”

The bad economy makes this a great time to hire an assistant because there are very few good jobs out there.  The woman we hired is a college graduate with a degree in broadcast communications.  She had hoped to find a job in TV broadcasting or journalism, but she finally gave up and took the position we offered.  While that is not the way she had hoped her career would go, it works out great for us because we were able hire a very attractive and intelligent person for a relatively low entry-level salary.

In the long-term, she will probably develop into a loan originator where she can use her outgoing personality and sales skills (she was the ad sales manager at her college radio station) to make a lot more money, but for the next year or two she is a perfect addition to our admin staff.
