Office Expert
A company is preparing to try to hire a person full-time to support its
70-person staff and their use of Office applications. This person also needs to be able to do a reasonable amount of PC (not server) maintenance, such as moving computers, installing programs, etc. Who is the typical person who knows how to do these things, and where would they find such a person? How much should they expect to pay? It's a great position for the right person. I think they are going to have a tough time filling the position because of all the people I've interviewed for jobs over the years, I have yet to find even one who can program in VBA or do other desirable Office tasks, such as creating macros (other than by recording them.) Since Suzanne is not available, what's second best? Mike Phillips |

Mike Phillips Cant speak for every type of company, but in most Law Firms that size and bigger, the person who supports MS Office is NOT the person moving computers around and installing software. The person heaving the computers around the office is usually the same person changing print toners and ordering supplies (entry level). and the person installing other software is usually an Applications Tech who doesnt do any first level support. Also, the MS Office guru is usually a former secretary or document specialist while the PC mover/maintenance person is usually an entry level Network Technician. It sounds like you're really asking for 1 person to have the skill set of 3. that's a tough find! good luck |
