Busy office needs responsible office assistant for:

Routine office duties such as handling phone messages, calls from
the public, many office visitors, sending emails to faculty and
majors, filing, and updating databases (in Excel).

Responsibilities in relation to the annual East Asia Institute, a
faculty development program for area secondary teachers.

Good spelling a must, and attention to small details is very important. OFFICE EXPERIENCE STRONGLY PREFERRED. Office can get very hectic but is a pleasant, friendly place to work. Hours are flexible. Starting salary is $8.00 an hour for undergrads and outstanding work is quickly acknowledged with raises.
